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.

I'm in Lemmy for, like, two years? Mostly lurking. I've been looking for alternatives for longer than that though.

I feel like the monsoon is mostly welcome. Content quality may decrease a bit, but the quantity will make up for it. And quantity is what has been missing IMO.

In special I'm hoping for specialised instances about some subjects that I enjoy. I like the Lemmy instance but stuff like anime and conlanging "feels" off-topic here.

Quantity has a quality all its own. I'm glad everyone here is so welcoming and looking forward to seeing how things develop.

Just to note, I just came from Reddit. I'm hoping for a critical mass of folks so we get those niche and specialty communities.

Do you mean for subscribing to the communities of these new instances, or would you completely switch to that instance (create a new account there)?

I've noticed some lags/asyncronity with non-home instance content. I guess it would make sense to be home wherever is the most and best fitting communities. But that would also mean leaving behind the stuff of the current account.
