    If they come, it will be a trickle. There isn’t that much left for Reddit to do which would significantly harm the user base as a whole to force a migration. At best, one sub might get banned and come to Lemmy as a way to continue. Whether that community will be accepted by the current Lemmy federation is up in the air.

    Regarding future growth, Lemmy isn’t ready for it. The moderation and admin tools need work if the platform were to 10x, let alone see greater growth. I expect if that growth were to happen, federation would fracture further. You would also see some Reddit items come here as a way to moderate like becoming more dependent on a karma score and requiring more for signing up.
