The tough part is that we still have a lot of progress to be made to get here. If anyone wants to dip into the project and help do things like turn instances of "dev.to" into ApplicationConfig["APP_NAME"] etc. that would be very helpful. Once we get that first secondary instance up, we're officially not just one monolithic project, but part of the greater OSS ecosystem.
Hey Ben, have you thought at all about integrating Dev with ActivityPub? That would go a crazy solid way towards making Dev a super generalizable system.
We have an ongoing project to generalize our app so it can be used for other purposes.
Folks are helping make progress on that front with WIP stuff like this:
Launch your own dev.to 🐳 server - with a single command (almost)!

Here's a post I made a while back about the motivations for this part of the project:
How dev.to could topple Facebook

Another way to help pitch in to the DEV Community via open source is to make PRs to help relevant projects list our link 😄
For example:
This change adds a helpful link to the ecosystem dropdown
Vue content has been growing in popularity on DEV and it's become a great resource for getting started with and keeping up with the Vue ecosystem.
Several members of the Vue ecosystem have begun establishing a presence on the site:
dev.to/vuevixens dev.to/nuxt
Overall, the DEV Community is growing to be a central resource for developers all over the world.
A link can similarly be found on the reactjs.org "channels" section of the footer.
If this is not the right place for the link, let me know what might be more appropriate. Thanks a lot!
Code for the platform can be found here: github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to
And admins (like myself) are always available to help the Vue team make the most of our community.
