"The proposal is to fork Lemmy again, this time deliberately not diverging too far from upstream so it’s easier to maintain the patches and apply them on top of each new Lemmy release.
This is a large undertaking. There is no timeline, but we expect it to be a while before the site is migrated over to the finished fork.
We’re still in the early stages, but the more people involved the sooner we can progress. Primarily, we need developers (Rust & TypeScript)"
how about just not fork at all lmao. Why do you need to have features that you don't contribute back to Lemmy? And if there aren't enough devs to do the work, what's the point?
The only reason we'd actually fork again would be because upstream Lemmy wouldn't want some of our features. For example, they have been resistant to the idea of sitemods.
Is there a list of open issues or roadmap or anything that prospective devs could glance at? I might be interested in a side project.

It doesn't seem like people are resistant, just trying to think of the best way to implement something.
You're very strange
Layla knows and can add you with a github user name
Yes there is a list. As others have said I can get you started and add you to the channels+GitHub org, just DM me on matrix (@layla:chapo.chat).
