from my perspective its just some worry that your fork might also be abandoned after a while and i'd then need to notice this somehow and look for a different fork - as cold as this may sound, with so many deployments i have to take care of, this can become some amount of risk^^
Oh, true, that's completely understandable. I don't even know myself how long I can keep this up. Though I also don't plan on disappearing entirely :)
Though to be fair, mlmym doesn't require much maintenance (with the exception of the upcoming API v4 migration, of course). Most instances of it are still on rystaf's build, even, and I guess that's ‘good enough’.
And it's not critical. If need be, it can be shut down and users will just switch back to the main interface.
The worst part of hosting mlmym you'll have to consider is that it causes a lot of unwanted bot traffic to the lemmy server, because it's so easily scrapeable. Whether that's worth it for the few users who prefer the old reddit design is your call.
