2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Maybe faux pas to reply to my own comment I made further connections with this.
I literally had cloned and was fixing OSMBuildings.org because, among other things, it wasn't clamping values correctly [1] -- it's why my charging markers are white. But I felt conflicted doing that. I was happy with what I spiked with OSMBuildings and started exploring commercial services like MapBox and a few other OSS projects.
Operating projects and companies and organizations is not easy. It sucks what happened there. I'm not a hater and actually looked to Patreon or similar Paul Norman -- and maybe the 'vector tiles' earmark literally means that? But, I'm not happy with that previous behavior of the organization...
So it's great the OSM Vector Tile service will be dramatically improved...
If any of us start doing something interesting with, will we get jacked up like OSMBuildings? Is that the stewardship of this donations? That's the rub.

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine
One use of that data is creating 3d renders, like this site: https://osmbuildings.org/

Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The maintainer says it's not dead and the website still works, so... https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings/issues/252

Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The source code for OSM2World is already public and open, and of course all the assets such as 3d models or textures are under open licenses. The code for the new frontend will be open as well as soon as the frontend itself is published. We don't really share the link to our internal prototype version at the moment because it's still so visibly flawed ... maybe that's misguided perfectionism on my part, idk.
What are some alternatives?
Nominatim - Open Source search based on OpenStreetMap data
Graphhopper - Open source routing engine for OpenStreetMap. Use it as Java library or standalone web server.
OSMBuilding - render an individual OSM building
