- Will this fork always be a sequence of commits based on some Lemmy version, or do you expect history to diverge (git rebase vs merge)?
- Will there be an effort to upstream useful changes into Lemmy proper (a lot of the changes suggested are things that might be desirable for Lemmy in general).
- There’s a number of other communities with a desire to use a forked Lemmy version, do you intend this fork to be useful for them, or is this purely for pawb.social?
And perhaps most importantly:
- Will the name be changed from Lemmy to something else if there are significant changes.
Not sure where the settings actually live, so I can’t say whether this is backend or frontend, but I have been thinking that nsfw post handling could be improved.
Specifically, I’ve been thinking about (and actually been considering implementing) some new per-user settings:
Should cut down on any drama caused by someone registering on a random instance and subbing to gfur. :P
EDIT: Looking at the replies, it looks like a simple site wide toggle a-la Furaffinity might be easier to implement and more egonomic.
