But are they going to actually maintain it?

Edit:

This fork was created by a divisions by zer0 admin after we noticed the original developer silently blacklisted all leftist and trans-friendly instances like the massive turbolib they are. We just removed his blacklist and we’ll eventually drop this frontend once lemmy 1.0 comes around.

So not a huge commitment, though I’m not sure how close 1.0 is to release.
