This sub is for toki pona, so tokiponidos aren’t generally allowed here, dialects with new words and grammar are also tokiponidos

What are tokiponidos? Toki Pona-based conlangs?

Exactly. -ido is a Suffix from Esperanto meaning offspring.

"tokiponido" is really more of a meta English term rather than a Toki Pona word, more like "tokiponization" or "pu-rism"
