You found some more by commenting about it now.

But if the fork is on GitHub there are some ways to search for the most maintained forks, albeit not with the GitHub tools which is unfortunate

There's always the fork network graph, but it's not exactly easy to spot which forks are good, just the ones with the most recent commits

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it's just that I have recently tried to find an active fork, ao experienced this

What tools would you recommend to fund good forks. I've had a Firefox extension or two but they've either creased working or weren't fantastic to begin with. Currently just using the network graph, limitations and all.

I think somewhere in these comments was a recommendation, can't find it now. I opted to just follow each fork linked in the repo and check for an update date ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
