I’m making a github organization that uses GitConsensus to manage a collaborative markdown worldbuilding wiki. Basically, you’d vote on pull requests using thumbs up and down emojis.

I don’t want this to be a thing where I point at an empty text document and say “worldbuild.” What’s some work I could do beforehand that could get people interested in contributing?

    I think that’s a valid concern because nobody is going to want to break the ice. If they did, they’d start their own worldbuilding project most likely. You’re going to have to be the one to head this and break the ice yourself. This community isn’t quite active enough to plop a project like this down and have people clamber for it, not yet.

    Edit: I added a question to your pollunit to help get things moving though 😄

      Thanks for the feedback, it’s been genuinely helpful. I’ll come up with something to post. I suppose if I make something people don’t like, they can always make a pull request to change it.

        Sure thing, happy to help! Worldbuilding is a passion of mine so I’d love to see a project like this get some traction and for the worldbuilding community on Lemmy to thrive 😄
