Highly unlikely that this 'protest' will do anything. However I think it will be the point at which a lot of users quit Reddit. Thats the time where Lemmy will make get 20-50k new users.

I think there should be a website that compares the top 5 or so instances and explains the differences between them. Since right now, new users will have no idea which one to join.

Start referring your friends. If you have any.

Instance owners could update the descriptions on https://join-lemmy.org/instances to include a link to a "Who are we" kind of readme.

Ultimately I'm not sure any of the instances will look the same in a month.

I agree to that. While the common mainstream news are reporting it, two-day drip in activity will hardly put a dent in the monthly analytic.

Some like r/dndmemes say it is indefinite.
