Wikidata is where Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects store general structured data for pages. This data can then be easily important to other Wiki projects or alternative language pages. E.g the data associated with Douglas Adams:

is stored on Wikidata and can be imported directly into Wikipedia and other wiki projects.

You can help improve Wikidatas Lemmy knowledge by

Find a page, e.g Trance
Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click + add statement.
Type Lemmy Community ID and click the pop up, in the Property field.
Find a relevant Lemmy community, and enter it in the community field in the format of community_name@instance_name, e.g !trance_music@lemmy.world
Then click Publish.

(I have never interacted with wiki stuff so apologies if this is easily answered but I’m on my phone atm)

Can you add multiples there? Like if there is more than one lemmy community?

Yes. There's an add value button to add additional entries.

Is there a working example of this? I couldn't find the Lemmy entry on the trance wikidata page.

Despite using it as an example, I didn't actually set it for Trance.

Here's a full list of current data https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_Lemmy_communities

Here's an example of a page (from the list) that has Lemmy community data https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133379979
