Is this something that should be really celebrated? I mean, the reason I joined is because it's not reddit. And I feel that this place will turn into reddit 2.0 if we're not careful.

The beauty of the fediverse is that you can pick exactly what you want.

Would you like reddit 2.0 where the admins will do what they can to ban "luigi's manefesto" from being posted? You can do that!

Not my cup of tea, but yall do you

You can pick a less "reddit-coded" instance. Lemmy.world is pitched as more of a reddit-clone, but other instances have niche subcultures or other fun characteristics like unique emojis. It's less about size and more about policies and structures that cause something to become "reddit-like."

Absolutely it should be celebrated.

Once enough users are here, you can join a niche small instance that doesn't federate with as many mainstream ones to get that small community vibe. (Or better yet, make your own instance to build what you want)

The more people using federated social media instead of single-entity controlled social media the better for society.

Just like it was in the early internet.

And here comes the fun part: It can't turn into Reddit 2.0. If you don't like the policy of your Instance, just join an Instance that fits you more, or create one your own.

This is the biggest draw for me. No more switching services finally.
