Don't know. The thing with Mastodon is that you wouldn't find people to follow and it lacked features people wanted.
Lemmy here is way more entertaining already. Of course a lot of people will just check it out and go back but I think enough will stick around. Like a small subreddit you enjoy and slowly grows.
Let's hope so! I wish for a slow but steady growth.
I fear that we wont be so lucky. If a million people try to check out Lemmy at once, all the instances can go down.
True, I've seen larger websites go down due to Reddit's "hug of death". I imagine that even the limited blackout will take down the more popular instances.
