It's funny, Notedock[1], one of the things I'm currently working on is kinda like what you've described. The original vision at least.
It's currently being offered as something like a self-hosted wiki or similar as you say, but has some hidden, unadvertised "social" features.
Like sharing pages to other sites in the Notedock system.
And pages can also be public (you can choose to set individual pages as public or private).
Here's an example of my "public" site: https://jb.notedock.com/public
Members of that site, and the members of sites each page is shared to can add to the Comments section. But for public pages, there's also a Disqus[2] option at the end (which I've turned off for my public site).
The original vision also included being able to "follow Notedocks" instead of "follow users" like you've described.
What I didn't have in mind was the Medium type comments and "forking".
So it's leading me to think that we probably have/had the same inspiration, but different ways of implementing this.
