From a practical and immediate stand point, yes that would work.
What bothers me is what is says about the site. This simple function keeps a verse community together instead of forcing it split, often into a less obvious name, making them harder to find. Is this just bad management or something more? It's something that could easily be delegated, so why hasn't it been? To me it is a telltale of a dying site, when basic functions are being ignored.
My other comment in this thread was that I would support a fork only because subverse requests are being ignored. I thought that is what you were replying to.
Nah, I wasn’t replying to that but it’s another example of is going on in general. Management is crying about the lack of growth but misses the simple points they should be looking at. Oh well.
Voat is open source. Anyone can take the code that runs the site and copy it to create their own site as long as they give proper credit. So basically take Voat and create a new site to run the way OP wants it run.
at wasForking is a common term in software (especially open source software) that refers to copying an existing codebase and diverging from the original maintenainer. Think of it like a spinoff project. For instance Fire OS (which runs on Kindles) is a fork Android by Amazon.
A fork is a term used in software development meaning to take the existing project and make a stand-alone copy that is maintained by another developer and often develops in a different way. Waterfox is a fork of Firefox, uBlock Origin is a fork of uBlock.

If you think that will make a voat clone, you're dumber than a nigger.

"Alpaca" or something would work better.
