We're expecting a giant influx of users when the popular workaround, old.reddit.com (perhaps with RES to make it less outdated), inevitably gets shut down. Please try to make Lemmy a worthwile space in the meantime so that they stay!

And please actively remind people to remain civil. We can be better than Reddit in so many ways. I believe!

Yes. However, we need to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of niche communities. For example, there is no Czech community at all after both the czech-lemmy.eu and kyberpunk.social instances went down. It's only once the communities get going and start appearing in "All/Active" feeds that I'd worry about serious moderation.

It's a tough position to be in for non-English and regional communities. For something like a game you can cross post in both a general videogames community and a more specific one and help people find it, but there's not much of an option for any sort of non-English non-pop culture topic.
