It's basically a fork of Lemmy. But rather than forking, we're rewriting the entire tech stack to something easier to support and enhance. You can see the full roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1
That’s the goal, yes.
The LW admins have helped contribute to Sublinks. They've given me full support and access to all resources to help grow it. They've been extremely helpful.
We are creating a Sublinks specific API that is much more optimized than the Lemmy one. Our front-end will be using that. Also, we'll have tons more features that the Lemmy core doesn't support.
The front-end is coming later. It’s fully compatible with Lemmy’s API so the demo site currently uses the Lemmy front-end.

A few Subreddits were planning to come over at the end of the month that didn't work out. Their members revolted and threatened to replace the mods. So they stayed over there. It would have been over 200k people if they all came over, even if not all members came. I thought I was under planning at the time.
I was reaching out to Reddit mods, trying to convenience them to join my instance. It almost worked, haha.
But in the end, I had to scale down while still maintaining something snappy. The DB is already over 15G, and I want to use a managed db. It's too large to put on smaller instances.
Clear anyone of debt just by thinking it.
You'll have to ask a site admin like @ruud@lemmy.world
There’s a bunch of other instances. Like mine at discuss.online. Nothing new is needed.
Seems like you’re just suggesting everyone use beehaw with federated accounts.
What are you going to do with all your time now :)
I agree. It's not a contest, we are in this together.
