I don't know much about the codebase or the alternatives, but this is definitely a niche that we should fill. I think region based instances could spin them up too.
I tried running an instance of it to go with my regional Mastodon instance but no one was interested in using it. The UX was also really strange at the time.
My hot take is people on mastodon are there because they want defederated twitter and aren't as nerdy about trying new online social experiences
