I have set up a wiki on github pages and will copy the content from the old wiki over in the coming days. Currently I’ve only moved the faq page and even that is missing a lot of stuff (like most hyperlinks).

If you want to help feel free to jump in. The repo is on https://github.com/lemmygermany/wiki

PS: mods, if you give me your github user name I’ll add you as site admins for the wiki

UPDATE: I think, I’ve transferred everything. There is still work to do. Most internal links are still broken, because they expect the structure on the backend to be the same and it’s not. But that is something that can be changed in time. All the content should be there and that’s the most important.

I’ve also fixed a typo in the domain name.

    Thank you! Not sure whether we already told you, but you might want to hurry a bit, as we’re not exactly sure how long we will remain mods over there and who will come after us…I’d offer help, but I’m kinda the biggest noob :D

    Edit: I sent the links to the other user on reddit who asked about it. If you want to, you can also make a post on r/germany and ask for help. As long as noone destroys the wiki on reddit we’re cool with people copying it and improving it elsewhere.

    How cool is the /r/germany team with this? There was no proper attention to licensing paid in the past, so it’s more of a vibe thing than a strictly legal question.

      I’ve been in contact with one of the mods over there and so far they seem to beel ok with this. Not enthusiastically or anything (which I get) but I don’t think they will pose a problem

      Edit: fixed typo

      We had someone else ask about it in modmail as well, and it’s fine.

      And just to clarify this here too: no mod on /r/Germany is going to do anything to the Wiki or anything like that.

        Looks like I’m not the only one who dropped part of their username when moving over :-)

        Btw., I’m happy to mod everyone from the reddit team, if you want? Just created the community here when I noticed it didn’t exist yet, just to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

        Same for /u/mica :-)

          Oh, you’ve done it now. Fine with me, though at this point I don’t think I’ll do anything with it. First I need to work out how this site works (and it does look shiny), plus right now the situation over in the other place is… let’s say interesting.

            Oh no worries, the workload over here is more than manageable. And yep I’m still checking the situation over on reddit, the fallout looks magnificent ;-)

      Finally managed to add it to the sidebar. You’re a champ!

      I’ve been trying to edit it with my primary account on another instance (only set this one up because I wanted the community on the German instance) and it’s crashing. Apparently there is a known bug with lemmy 0.17.4 and sidebar editing by a foreign-instance-mod.

    You are gods for doing this! One of the few things I was going to head back for.

        There was(is) a wiki bot on r/Germany that anyone could summon using !wiki or a few more specific commands that would point to the section to the question that the OP had asked. It should be quite straightforward to reproduce if you know the basics already.
