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, maybe not, but the instances have the option of closing registrations for a bit if they get overwhelmed and need to regroup. This is why it's nice to see lots of other instances popping up across the fediverse

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