Hello! A lot of people are discussing the recent Reddit changes (I'm also a Reddit refugee), but I think there are some reasons why a mass exodus from Reddit won't be good for Lemmy:

  • servers would crash The reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy The shitty jokes would continue here
  • just check r/redditmoment. Do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
  • right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments The Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people (that could figure out the whole instances thing), that isn't the case for Reddit

As some people mentioned, many people will just forget what happened after the blackout (unless it becomes permanent), so a mass exodus also seems unlikely.

What do you think about this?

EDIT: I'm not talking about denying every Reddit application, I just hope the annoying redditors go back into their hole, just like @JTurtle said.
