How do you older Lemmy users feel about the large influx of reddit users? (lemmy.world)

A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I've been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I'm curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.

This is a great question - I'm new myself, and while it all feels very welcoming and friendly so far, I'd hate to think that there was some established Lemmiquette that I was unwittingly breaching.

I'd love to see this place become a genuine alternative to Reddit, but not if it pisses off the people who were here from the start.
