Was wondering what this instance is going to do if/when a lot of Reddit users migrate to Lemmy instances. From what I've read, there's a high chance that a lot of instances will go down due to the amount of activity and new users.

Is this instance going to restrict registrations temporarily during it, or will it leave them open and hope for the best?

I'd guess it depends on what role the operators want to play here... Is absorbing (the good parts of) that community a goal? This seems like the most impactful time to keep the doors open if so, to try and help the network reach a critical mass.

Otoh maybe this community comes first and they're more interested in ensuring the lights stay on during the chaos.

I just came from reddit today so I definitely don't speak for anyone here :) but that seems like the determining factor?

Just tagging in to agree with both points (hands?) and to self-report another newcomer fleeing the growing hellscape that is reddit to this increasingly relevant thread. So, there’s two of us, at least?
