It would be cool if such forks were transparent on the original forum / subreddit, and if they also forked on specific rules. I.e. like a diff with rule 5 crossed out / changed / new rule added, etc.

I've seen an example of this. The fork is less active than the original, but I wouldn't call it a failure. Rather, it was a successful experiment with a negative result. The original forum was the most high-quality discussion forum I've ever experienced in my life, so this wasn't quite a generalizable experiment.
