Offbrand bricks are just fine. The reason I picked the Lego name is because everyone knows it. So no worries! If you want to make a specific community for offbrand bricks, I'd be glad to pin it!
I think this was the right call, discoverability is just so much better than any recombination of "interlocking building bricks" or something. "Lego" is very close to being a generic category name anyway, in my opinion. As long as the community is as small over here as it is right now, splintering it even further wouldn't be a wise move, I think.
Would be great, if you could write this in the rules-box.
That's a good decision I think. Calling it lego because it's the most famous brand, but allowing anything that's compatible.
Not sure if this is going to be an issue in future, but there are also building blocks that use a non compatible system like nanoblocks. At some point you might have to decide if those are acceptable too!
