2022-12-20 Everything has been running more or less smoothly through the latest Twitter exodus deluges, as far as we can tell.
There are no known issues.

Welcome to MediaWiki!

Meta

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.

A Brief Directory

Footnote

  1. There is at least one other Mastodon wiki.
