Users from before the current wave of Reddit refugees, how do you feel about the incoming monsoon of refugees? (lemmy.ml)

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.

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.

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.

I'd be using those instances alongside lemmy.ml. I want to talk about anime, but I don't want to just talk about anime; and here I get some nice tech-related content.
