  Then it’ll be a feature only in our site and any other sites using our version of lemmy

    Oh ok seems fine as long as the code continues to merge cleanly with upstream. But once that stops happening, could be hard to continue development without branching off and going our own way.

    Will the custom code be open source and made available to us? If so, where would that be?

      Yeah should be fine, dont think any changes made are going to severely overhaul the base structure so everything will be able to merge in (and if it does then makes sense to branch off at that point)

      Yeah it’ll be in a github repo. Currently trying to brainstorm a name and then I’ll share the repo publicly

        and if it does change then makes sense to branch off at that point

        I really hope it doesn’t come to that. I don’t want to become a fork of Lemmy. I would consider going to a different instance if that happened, because I would need to weigh pros/cons of sticking to OG Lemmy dev team or programming.dev team.

  I don’t think this will be a very big issue for the majority of the cases though. As long as it’s configurable and not a (very) controversial change.

  What I have observed so far: I think the maintainers are relatively open to changes (compared to a few other open source repos).
