Do we actually want all the redditors and their "content" in Lemmy?
Be careful what you fish for.
The mainstream content on reddit is not something I would be interested in, and I would actually be sad if it made it's way over to lemmy.
But I would love the tons of niche (non tech savvy niche, they are already here) communities to make their way over here.
I think the idea is that through federation/defederation, the fediverse is more protected against this. Right now we're all mostly interacting with the whole rest of Lemmy besides obvious trolls/menaces because it's small, but eventually you'll start getting "neighbourhoods" with more curated instances you wish to subscribe to or not.
Don't want to see the mainstream garbage? Then avoid the mainstream instances and curate your own little corner of the internet.
Absolutely, I do not want a eternal september to take place. I'm fine with Lemmy growing slow and stable.
