@Jdreben @christianselig all I know is that lemmy happily has a hard separation between its backend and frontend, including having a semi official alternative frontend that is more like a forum. So I’m betting it’s more than possible.

There probably need to be more lemmy instances put up. The sort of flagship has a particular vibe that isn’t for everyone and takes a while to get an account on. Some diversity could go a long way in this moment.
