The place to talk/ask about stuff in Germany in English.
Wiki: https://lemmygermany.github.io/wiki/
Many thanks to @Vittelius@feddit.de for creating this!
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.
Ah ooops, should have checked first
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 appreciate it :)
Just wanted to let you know, you brought me here Mica, thank you.
Glad you are here :)
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 ;-)
You are gods for doing this! One of the few things I was going to head back for.
I've also created a (German language) writeup on how I set up this wiki: https://feddit.de/post/1160356
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.
We just need the bot now and we’ll be done.
What bot? I might be able to create it
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.
