I've been hoping for something like this to be created ever since I started getting interested in the fediverse, poggers!

I'm still skeptical of federation. Like this shit is so clunky:
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !ibis@lemmy.ml
But anyway
For example geology.wiki/article/Mountain may be completely different different from poetry.wiki/article/Mountain. There can be Ibis instances strictly focused on a particular topic with a high quality standard, and others covering many areas in layman’s terms. Others may document fictional universes from television series or videogames. If one instance is badly moderated or presents manipulated information, an alternative can easily be created. Yet all of them will be interconnected, and users can read and edit without leaving their home website.
This sounds more like a federated Wikia ("Fandom") alternative, not really a Wikipedia alternative. But even as a Wikipedia alternative, I don't think a decentralized Wikipedia is the best way to go. There will be too much formatting inconsistency between the various wikis, as you can see across existing wikis.
Anyway, plugging ProleWiki. It's kind of a general encyclopedia, but still focused on communism so I hesitate to call it a Wikipedia alternative either.

I read that as "Announcing Libs".
Very cool though!
