Cloning vs. Forking in Flux

what is the difference between cloning and forking a project in flux
This is what the Flux documentation says about the topic:
Learn how to effectively get a copy of other project of components in Flux using forking and cloning.
It is important to note that forking and cloning do not preserve interactions between users, especially comments
Forking
When you fork a project, all its history of changes is preserved. Meaning the forked part can eventually be merged back with the original.
To fork a project, navigate to the project you want to fork and then select "Fork project" from the Flux menu on the top left.
  • Alternatively, you can use the "Fork" shortcut next to the "Star" icon in the top left.
