A few ideas from the top of my head

Flairs that can be allowed to filter content in a community
Major online communites (can be subreddits, or other communities) moving to Lemmy
Reddit removing old.reddit
Reddit banning people using VPNs (already happening, see !reddit@lemmy.world )
Lemmy becoming the reference source of knowledge for a certain domain

Second point is probably crucial, but I don't see any major subreddit wanting to move here. StarTrek is the exception more that the rule.

I really wish Beehaw would have played out a bit different. I think they had good intent, but clamped down on things a bit too fast and they cut off their growth too early.

Definitely. They really put a lot of efforts in building their community, with their documented moderation guidelines etc., but cutting themselves off LW and SJW is just too much...
