this question aims to look at alternatives, not why we should remain using lemmy or any lemmy instance.

    You’re completely right, and this issue is especially problematic and noticable with cryptocurrencies. Fortunately though you are generally not the only person who feels a certain way, and you can generally find a community of devs to make a fork. My assertion is that once the Lemmy devs start causing problems, people will make a fork of lemmy that addresses your concerns with the codebase, and because Lemmy was the most suitable before, the fork will continue to be the most suitable for a while. At that point “what is Lemmy” becomes a semantic argument.

      But why should I want a fork of lemmy when I prefer to have a fork of https://postmill.xyz/?

      I prefer the design of postmil over the design of lemmy. There are things I dislike with lemmy, there are things I dislike about postmil. I don’t want a fork of lemmy, I want a fork of postmil.

        I’m not saying what you should do, I’m saying what I would do =/

          ok, that’s fair.
