I'd say it started as a splinter, or at least a community of exiles, a diaspora if you will, because it was founded in the aftermath of the troons finally killing /qa/ the last bastion of actual shitposting on 4chan.>the sharty itself is a splinter
I wouldn't say thats true, i think there is a difference between an altchan and a splinter. The sharty is a an altchan dedicated to the Soysphere, it is an original altchan for a community without a imageboard where as the jarty, shemmy whatever splinter you can think of, I wouldnt say these are altchans due to them being centred around an unoriginal idea. A imageboard themed around 'jaks because the sharty is the original altchan for that. The same could be said around 8chan being an original altchan centred around gamergate where as 8chan.moe wouldn't.
It's moved on so far since then that even I as a /qa/ denizen until the end can barely recognize some of the new memes or mutations of the jaks that started there.
It's now its own thing.
