"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.

It doesn't seem like people are resistant, just trying to think of the best way to implement something.
You're very strange
