I imagine there’s excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I’d especially be interested in the Lemmy devs’ opinions.

    Maybe I’m missing something but how will that help the moderation, since users can visit/comment from any instance?

      Yep - but each user needs to be approved by an admin. So if things started getting rowdy I’m sure admins would close things on the bigger instances to focus more on modding, and de-fed rowdy instances that can’t keep up at least temporarily.
