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.

Wanting to learn something hits the nail on the head. I recently came to the realization that I used to learn things on reddit, especially in the comments. Not sure when that stopped but it's why I had been wishing for an alternative for a while.

I still learn things there. I keep my subscriptions pretty clean and tailored to really interesting things, but have a mulrireddit called "fun" where I can browser brainlessly and have a laugh.
