I am also part of the influx, but I'm worried that this is going to be a short lived thing and people are going to go back to reddit.
It's very unlikely that Lemmy will ever be as big as Reddit, but this influx might have it reach a tipping point where it can start to grow users organically.
Indeed, for this kind of service users attract users. I've been checking in on Lemmy periodically for years and the content just wasn't there (for me). But now, with plenty more users, I'm seeing a lot more value in spending more time here.
Unlikely. Why do you say that? Wasn't reddit once small?
