Forking a repo is not the same as developing it. Any idiot can rehost the existing source code, but all the developers with knowledge of the code base and project just got axed by Nintendo.
I hate to be that guy, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don't work, and the domain for the "email" is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn't seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.
I can understand that it's a new fork, but in my mind you'd want to at least make sure the Readme is... passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.
EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I'm still incredibly skeptical of the project though
Yeah... I looked at the project's subreddit, and I don't expect it to last long. The creator's idea of avoiding Nintendo's legal team boils down to "assert emulation is legal and condemn piracy within our dev team and community."
I don't mean to be a dick, but I don't think the guy knows what he's doing. The only way an actively-maintained fork is going to avoid the same fate is if they either give up before Nintendo cares, or:
Stripped out the code that gave Nintendo's argument validity in the first place;
Did not make money off the project; and
Stayed far the hell away from retail game emulation, focusing on perfect compatibility for homebrew entirely.
Even then, there's a good chance they're screwed either way. The original Yuzu devs agreed to Nintendo's terms of explicitly naming Yuzu as a circumvention tool. Settlements don't serve as precedent, but I suspect it's going to be extremely hard to argue that a minimal derivative of a circumvention tool is not still a circumvention tool when the original creators stated they designed it as such.
