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.

I feel like it could be a good thing, more new content to interact with and see. I'm hopeful that new communities will sprout that are completely unrelated from any reddit counterparts.

It's all quite amusing to see.

Seems cool!

More activity and more users to interact with means I can be more active too. I have another account from April 2022, and I know what I'm talking about.

Only been here for a couple of years and haven't yet gotten a feel for the platform. I hope Lemmy can handle the traffic spikes, I've already seen tildes.net go down lately.

I feel that the majority of the toxicity will be left on reddit, but the good guys will surely come

I'm from Reddit. I do shower regularly, so, I promise I'm not toxic.
