Pathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd. It's like saying settlers of catan is a different copyright of carcassonne.

Is it though?

Depends on which edition of DnD, frankly. Pathfinder 1e and 2e are quite mechanically different, as many DnD editions are to each other.

I need to read up on Pathfinder 2e.

I know the "joke" was that 1e was basically D&D 3.75... which was a bit too powergamey for my tastes, so I never even looked at 2e...

It's still a d20 system but it is quite a bit different.

I've just not had the excuse to look yet, my life is currently a bit too chaotic for a regular game, let alone one in another new system...

I am working on an open game setting over at https://ttrpg.network/c/Canyonlands but don't have anything like a plan for actually running a game.

Good luck, fellow worldbuilder!

Pathfinder is closer to D&D than most other TTRPGs (not counting direct D&D derivatives)

True, but anyone who thinks it's a drag and drop replacement is in for a headache
