I'm definitely a supporter of the growing Anti-Fandom movement in the Fan Wiki Community.
mossbag and Connorsseur both have YouTube videos on the subject I highly recommend.
Some of franchises I often need to use wikis for don't have their Fandom alternative even as the second option to come up on a search, partly because of their not so straight forward names. So I want to share some here real quick.
DetectiveConanWorld.Com has a Wiki that is a great resource for Case Closed.
TolkienGateway.Net is great for Arda Lore.
WikiMoon.Org is a non Fandom Sailor Moon Wiki.
FinalFantasyWiki.Com, Dragon-Quest.Org and SaGaWiki.Org don't seem to be as comprehensive as they need to be to compete with Fandom yet, but they can be made better simply with the help of new contributors.
I was also already a user of some of the more well known ones mentioned in those YT videos.
However there are some I'm still frustrated to see have no Fanodm alternative, at least not one I've found searching. Wookipedia is still the only option for Star Wars, DC Database is still the best option for DC and the others are also on Fandom. PDSH is also a Wiki I like to use and wish would migrate.
And getting back to my Weeb stuff, ToAru, and the Nasuverse and Code Geass and Overflow still only have their Fandom options. For Overflow there's a lot of information on the broader School Days Universe only available in English on that wiki, I wish that would change.
I also have occasional interest in the DereTypes Wiki so wish it would migrate, as well as the Dubbing Wiki and Audio Drama Wiki.
Update February 1st: I felt like mentioning this Megaman Wiki I stumbled upon.
Here's a page where Miraheze attempts to comprehensively list their Wikis.
Update February 19th: There is a non Fandom Song of Ice and Fire Wiki.
