Wisconsin on Lemmy - a hub for everything in the Badger State
Hello! Welcome to the Wisconsin community on https://midwest.social, a Lemmy instance. Our community welcomes all news, pictures, discussions, and interesting links about Wisconsin.
Rules and moderation are consistent instance wide:
- No bigotry, hate speech.
- No ads / spamming.
- No conspiracies / QAnon / antivaxx sentiment
Submissions found to be in violation of these rules, or are off-topic for this community, will be removed at moderators discretion. Please use the report feature to notify the mods to a potentially harmful submission.
Again, welcome to [email protected] Feel free to make a comment introducing yourself and sharing something you like about Wisconsin.
I definitely agree. The more niche and community-centric wikis of Fandom and Miraheze should be the primary target. Its also a more achievable goal.
An Ibis article could probably just be considered a post to Lemmy. At least for a read-only view from Lemmy. The questions are: 1. How to show attribution/authorship and 2. Can articles be started or edited on Lemmy?
For 1, probably makes the most sense to show 'Last edited by XYZ on date.time'. showing more than 1 author gets complicated and would probably be better served by a hyperlink to ibis itself.
For 2, it probably shouldn't be possible. Maybe a workaround could be that ibis and Lemmy could (optionally) have a unified login system - so your Lemmy account would be good for an Ibis account if your admins chose to install ibis alongside Lemmy.
Good stuff! Thanks for all that you guys do for Lemmy and the open internet
I don't go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that's it.
Great Sauk State Trail extension receives wide array of public feedback
Absolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.
What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?
We can fund these colleges, we just haven't been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you're at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.
Under Wisconsin's new maps, legislative control will likely be granted to the party that gets the most votes statewide. That's a significant shift from the status quo.

I have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.
Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.
There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See page for information on how to do that.
Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.
