Getting right to the point, here is firstly a list of some of the problems i've come upon.
- Activity Panel being supposedly down for 2 entire years, (Forum post complaining about this from 2017)
- Absolutely no feedback of new content or comments, no emailing (Contrary as said in http://www.wikidot.com/faq:watching , most other documentation, and the fact that people are editing and creating pages, with myself watching the site, while my email sits blank)
- The last time the Twitter account has posted was in a year
- Almost all themes are broken, abandoned, and lacking (The newest ones are at the bottom. There is no way to change the filtering. Just kidding, seemingly, they aren't even being ordered by age as there are posts from 2011 after posts from 2013)
- Lack of community-wise documentation and bug-catching
- Accounts simply don't want to be created (Check out this other recent post)
- Ajax requests failing all the time (twice every time i use wikidot) for no apparent reason or rhyme
Apologies for not having a source for a few of the points in the above list (4. as it is unlinkable, 5. as i would have to post the entire community site, though demonstrated that the ammount of posts/threads decays quickly over the years.)
Being harsh but these really add up, and i can guess that most other people agree.
Wikidot has been recent bliss in my life and i believe it has the potential that could bring most social media sites and software to their knees, with it's over-the-top customisability, ease of use, and open design.
Please, please, i know these can be fixed.
pfewel, siniv hali ci ahi.
