I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about how new user are finding Lemmy, but I was wondering how existing Lemmy users feel about horde of redditors descending on their site?
I’m hoping that so far those of who have migrated over are trying to fit in and find out how to fit in with the existing culture, but do people who have been here for a while have concerns about what is to come?
I for one am hoping Lemmy will be a less toxic environment than Reddit, and I’d hate for this influx to ruin things.
Here’s hoping!
More people = more content More content = more fun.
There will always be scumbags but Lemmy makes it incredibly easy to deal with them. For instance if someone is harrassing users in a beehaw sub, then the admin can ban them from the entire instance.
As someone who was on Lemmy very early on but left due to the toxicity of the core community, I find it so wonderful I’ve come back for the first time since last year. It’s rekindled my belief in Lemmy as a viable platform in the fediverse and I’m even considering reactivating my lemmy instance.
The only thing I’m afraid of is the newcomers being influenced by certain established instances and their anti-social and politically fundamentalist way as that would ruin this unique chance for Lemmy to grow.
