Do we actually want all the redditors and their “content” in Lemmy?

Be careful what you fish for.

Absolutely, I do not want a eternal september to take place. I’m fine with Lemmy growing slow and stable.

I think the idea is that through federation/defederation, the fediverse is more protected against this. Right now we’re all mostly interacting with the whole rest of Lemmy besides obvious trolls/menaces because it’s small, but eventually you’ll start getting “neighbourhoods” with more curated instances you wish to subscribe to or not.

Don’t want to see the mainstream garbage? Then avoid the mainstream instances and curate your own little corner of the internet.
