  • As I see it, there are three major ways a fork could gain significant standing among the community:

    • They could get features out faster. Scaled sort would’ve been absolutely pivotal during a migrationary wave, as it would have allowed small communities to gain exposure on the front page in a far more natural and organic way. Currently new communities are largely dependent on the community spotlight subs and there’s not a whole lot of ways to actually gain momentum after that initial posting.
    • They could improve performance and appeal to admins. The current cost of hosting Lemmy is fairly bloated from my understanding.
    • They could invest in moderation. Beehaw would certainly be interested.

    I honestly think any one of these is easily manageable by a handful of people in off time. Other parts of the fediverse of similar size are chock full of forks.
