I am happy with the size of lemmy now. If lemmy gets too big we will have corporate shils, sock puppets and bots trying to manipulate the conversation.
Having said that, I think there is a good chance Lemmy will take a decent chunk of reddit users in the near future.
My reasoning:
I think lemmy’s interface is intuitive for new users (paritularly new users from reddit).
Open Source/Federation/Non coroporate patforms are something many reddit users are interested in and value.
Reddit is pushing some users away through increased advertising, subreddit bans, trying to get people to use the new app/interface.
There have been mass-migrations from reddit to other sites before (voat). If there is another mass-migration it will likely to be to a lemmy instance as there will allready be some content available and I as far as I know it is easy to set up an instance.
r/privacy has a raddle.me community as a backup forum in case it gets banned. If subbreddits start having lemmy as a backup that could draw new users.
