How do existing Lemmy users feel about the influx of Reddit refugees? (self.lemmyworld)

I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about how new user are finding Lemmy, but I was wondering how existing Lemmy users feel about horde of redditors descending on their site?

I’m hoping that so far those of who have migrated over are trying to fit in and find out how to fit in with the existing culture, but do people who have been here for a while have concerns about what is to come?

I for one am hoping Lemmy will be a less toxic environment than Reddit, and I’d hate for this influx to ruin things.

Here’s hoping!

It’s been great in my opinion, i feel like since they came on everyone is talking again, i just had an insightful conversation worth a a group of people about climate change in Canada causing the fires, im a trump guy/ poop poster but im also for helping the environment and i enjoyed the conversation very much, i think everyone is trying to gain users understandably but I’m glad that the instance blocking isn’t happening again and I’m glad ppl are embracing community blocking as an alternative
