Are Hive communities forking their way into mainstream?

I recently heard about Skate Hive and how they forked the ecency frontend to make their own standalone hive dapp.

This can be a great way for communties to focus more on adoption and helping Hive going mainstream... imagine having 30+ communities doing their own marketing and PR promoting their frontend, at least one of them has to go mainstream right? And if one does, it will ultimately help Hive in terms of userbase and adoption.

On the other hand, could this trump Hive's growth in terms of being "A place for every topic, and every person"?

In this video we go in-depth on this topic.
