It's good news for Lemmy. I wouldn't have just joined otherwise, and from a number of other posts it seems like this may have created a lot of defectors.
I just started with Lemmy yesterday. Joined a few Matrix chats as well. For the most part those have replaced everything I used Reddit for. Still a couple of niche things I'm looking for, but all things in due time...
Same. I joined because of the current debacle, and the more I read about the fediverse, the more I like it. Hopefully this attracts talented people who can work on improving the UX, which I find lacking compared to, ironically, third party apps for reddit.
I was dabbling in Lemmy before, but now have fully moved!
