Will Anthelion or GPW ever share their Gazelle forks?
6 projects | /r/trackers | 25 Oct 2021

The only Gazelle fork that's still being publicly developed right now is made by Orpheus. Last release of Empornium's Luminance was made 3 years ago (October 2018) and Oppaitime's Gazelle fork was last updated in January 2020 (linking to a GitHub mirror because the official Git repo has an expired SSL certificate).

luminance is what I would have used if you'd asked me a year or two ago but development there seems to have stalled too, which is a shame. bringing everything up to standards (php8.0 on the horizon) would be a big undertaking.

Actually, it was just the source code the site itself. They did run a tracker, but that used this.
