    It depends.

    If we’re lucky and lemmy is more of less left to its own devices then we’ll probably get a few more users as Reddit keeps getting more and more awful.

    If we’re not lucky then either Reddit or Meta will decide that lemmy needs to be somehow incorporated into their services wether we like it or not and we’ll be inundated with a deluge of the worst possible kinds of users. Spam bots, trolls, scammers, people trying to use it for their crappy MLM schemes etc.

    Only time will tell!

      Except in the Fediverse we can block instances. So one from Reddit or Meta is just a click away from being banned.
