Slyke's answer

Slyke is a wiki-style content curation platform, built around ‘Collections’ of content about a super-specific subject. Collections are made up of links, media, and text ‘Items’

To be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the 'verse.
