I’ve previously seen people describe dating a person with ADHD as “Microdosing Wikipedia” and I thought that was a fun idea so I figured I would make a community dedicated to that specifically.

The idea is to post either random or interesting articles you find on any wiki (Doesn’t actually have to be wikipedia so a games/fandoms wiki would also be included) and people can discuss the content or the subject of the article.

It’s just a small space for people to learn about stuff that they have no reason to learn about otherwise.

Sounds interesting! I have definitely gone down some wikipedia rabbit holes. I requested to subscribe. Once I’m accepted I’ll share some of my favorite’s.

Go ahead and post! Sometimes Lemmy can be weird about the “subscribe” feature when subscribing between instances. You’re already subscribed as soon as you hit the button, it just isn’t showing correctly.

So the only difference to !wikipedia@lemmy.world is that the community allows links to any wiki? (Though !wikipedia@lemmy.world also has “Casual Tuesdays”, allowing wikis other than Wikipedia)

It’s basically casual tuesday always but also a general focus on stuff that doesn’t really matter.

I was thinking about it as a place to discuss things that everyone will forget about the day after while creating it.
