Welcome to the DisNCord Community Wiki

This is a wiki used by all members of the DisNCord community, to document preservation projects, and other things relevant to our interests

Currently, we've got 28 articles!

Looking for our Mastodon instances? That's over at social.restless.systems

Introduction

The DisNCord Wiki exists to document projects undertaken by community members, and avoid the usual problem of such discussions being lost on Discord and un-indexable. It's hope for this to be a central record for everything we've done together as a group, as well as a lotus for various interests and more. Editing is open to all, although you need an account, and be verified by an admin to upload images. See How Do I Get Involved for more information.

If you want to help but don't know where to start, please consult the Help Wanted page for more information.
