In my head, this looks like a wiki. Where you can add topics and update them. Is this in the ball park?

I saw an idea I really liked a few weeks ago on having personal gardens all on the same site that can automatically interconnect. That feels like a great approach here. Give ownership, but still have a shared community.

If you own the content, and you're publishing it yourself, then this is a website.

Might be missing your point, but unclear on why this matters. Most digital gardens are websites. I'm just talking about a garden with a combination of ownership with roam style automatic interconnectedness. E.g. link to [[Books]] and see some combo of yours and others Books pages

Im interested in how web mentions could connect digital gardens and such but filtering out noise is definitely the hard part.

Yeah, I don't think this could be a super broad thing, it would probably have to be based on pre-existing subcommunities that want to share a space. I would think one or two dozen people at the maximum. You would need to know that every single person there is high signal to noise

+1!
Pre-approved collection of gardeners with exclusive access to communal contribution space.
I really hope this format replaces the 20 slack groups, 6 discords, and 4 disqus forums I'm trying to keep track of...
Cozy web is so broken.
Need better gardening tools.

I am not good at the multiple slack, discord, discourse, circle, mattermost, etc situation at all. I'm in a bunch of communities but my brain doesn't seem to engage that way.

Yeah, it makes it hard to keep up even with the best parts of these systems. I have discord and about 90% of the channels I don't bother checking anymore. I enjoy some Slack server until I forget to check for 2 days and suddenly every channel has unread stuff, etc...

Exactly the same. I have paid ones I don't even engage with (Future Thinkers).
At some point I would like to set up a community around the Alexander Technique stuff, but it makes me question how to do it to avoid just creating *another one*.

Agreed - there's a lot of rallying cries to "start a community!" and I'm becoming increasingly skeptical of the net cost to everyone's attention and cognitive load.
Also, it feels like everything is delivered as a feed. Maybe that is the issue. We don't need regular updates to be fed in taking our attention, we just need spaces to help good information grow. There is a reason things like official docs and wikipedia are often good sources
