Shit this is huge, any good alternatives? I feel bad for all the wikis that moved over looking for an alternative to fandom.

personally I’m moving to self hosting but that’s not viable for everyone. There doesn’t seem to be any direct replacement, other than wikitide but I wouldn’t trust that due to a few factors (ToS and Privacy policy ‘coming soon’ sounds legally dubious)

I feel like self-hosting is genuinely the best option regardless. That way you have full control and you can ensure your wiki never goes down.
