Nah that’s pretty much about it, between .ml having “the big comms” (by subscriber count only) and being a support hub the decision to defederate is a difficult one, probably intentionally.

Imho, screw the support hub and defed anyways, there are alternate channels.

I don’t think Lemmy well ever be forked, Rust is rather difficult. The way I see it, either the devs gets their personal political stances under control or Lemmy will give way to up and coming replacements like piefed that are written in much easier languages and can be developed a lot faster
