Mew is a community wiki[1] for the Mastoverse, with a focus on helping complicated people to be kind to each other.
It's also the official wiki for toot.cat, and we have started a directory of cat-related things on the fediverse.
We also offer space for Catalonian/Catalan interests, in order to help satisfy the .cat TLD requirements.
