I think the Redditors joining Lemmy will certainly change the culture, both for the better and for the worse. Comments got pretty toxic on Reddit while I feel like the toxic comments on Lemmy were rare.

BUT, that could be a sample size thing. I'm curious to see if the ratio of toxic comments per active user would have been the same.

remember... federation is your friend. federation gives you the freedeom to change house (instance) and/or look for better communities on any other federated instance from your own instance.

Are you actually able to migrate accounts between instances?

not yet on Lemmy, although you can on Mastodon, so it's doable.

Unfortunately Mastodon does not migrate your toots so... it's pretty useless.

The most important thing, your history, is not being moved. It's nice that subscribers get migrated but that's like 20% of the job.
