What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms?
-
The Misskey forks are in English, the only bad thing is that they are a little resource intensive
-
If it was soft-fork, than its fine.
Almost all previous forks are hard-forking, splitting English community into another one.A lot of FOSS project from non-English community often having hard time to broaden their community unless English community embrace them first. Helping non-English community also broaden FOSS community diversity and perspective, allowing them to collaborate and do cultural exchange.

I'd like to try it out. Do you recommend some instance with English UI?

blahaj.zone uses Sharkey (which is a fork of Misskey)

That's my take on it too.
Late Web 1.0/early Web 2.0 we had a diverse ecosystem of forums, wikis, blogs (micro and macro), etc. The next logically step would have been to invent a protocol to get them talking to each other. Instead, the Big Web offered everyone convenience as long as they were happy living inside their walled garden, which was fine until it wasn't.
We're now just trying to fix the mistake of trusting the Big Web and get back to where we were before it all went wrong.
