Reddit on the Wikipedia model is Lemmy.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI wouldn't call Lemmy a Wikipedia model. There's no peer review to try and establish a base of knowledge. You're only so free to edit "entries" in that you can fork off a federation and make your own to host. I'm not even sure if the models are compatible. Reddit was designed to cycle through modern news and discussions, focusing on presenting the new over the important/relevant, or the most agreeable over the most well written/researched. Reddit plays to the Wisdom of the Crowds, Wheras Wikipedia at least attempts to fight the popular opinion through uses of credible, professional sources (which sometimes works against the idea of being a "base of knowledge")
