I just signed up the other day once I discovered the dev for Sync was starting development on a Lemmy app.
I wanted to ask regular Lemmy users... What is your opinion on the influx of people from Reddit? Do you fear it will change the social atmosphere here, or do you welcome new users to the community?
I've seen plenty of posts venting about Reddit already, and I imagine that'll probably get tiring really fast for long lasting Lemmy users (Lemmyers?)
Yea so far it's great. I'd imagine once it's easier to access, well see a slow decline in quality discourse and content, but that's all things, so I'm just enjoying the moment tbh.
hopefully the principles of federated networking will help keep that to a minimum though? It'll be interesting to see how people that are used to Twitter/Reddit will adapt to their counterparts when theyre so used to being kept in a very defined box.
