I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.

Been here patiently waiting for quite a while... this is what i've been waiting for, for reddit to finally fuckup bad enough that people move over.

If reddit deletes NSFW content, we can expect a third exodus of users

Reddit trying to go the slow route, removing one thing at a time, will make it easier for lemmy to scale and grow to accept all the users.

If they did API, old.reddit, and nsfw all at the same time it would be absolutely impossible to accommodate.

The API shenanigans (more like the IPO generally) finally gave me the nudge I was waiting for to actually give Lemmy a try after meaning to get around to it for a while. I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, but I'm glad I'm doing it somewhere new!
