With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

To be honest though, when I hear this kind of question, I always end up thinking "quality over quantity".

It's funny you say that. When I first read the post I interpreted more as "We're about to get a bunch of unruly Redditors. How are we going to deal with the increased workload on moderators."

reddits arnt coming here, unless SPEZ/reddit decides to a massive purge wave again, which they wont now. because they realize they lost too much irl users to thier AI slop, and now bots/spammers are taking over reddit. they went with more subtle background shadowbans.

Kindof a tangent there, buckaroo.

I mean... that sounds to me like an entirely valid question ⁉️ - how WOULD we handle such?

Aside from trying to recruit more mods, I have no idea. I think a big influx of Redditors is going to reduce discussion quality here no matter what we can do, and we have very limited resources to spend on damage control.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can come up with something.

PieFed already provides a HUGE aid to help here, and while Lemmy currently lacks this I believe that a future version is imminent that will help in this regard as well. I am talking about federating mod reports across instances, which will allow mods to remain on their home instance without having to continually check an alt account(s) on the same instance that houses the community. This will increase the pool of available mods for any specific community.
