Idk I have a Mastodon and it gets like that for a month or so whenever there is Twitter drama, and then goes back to normal. Normal on Mastodon is a bit like here, with a small bit active community posting about their specific things. I think Lemmy will get like that too, it will be small but stable, with people posting actual content. They'll probably all be libs, but that's true everywhere.
I'm pretty happy with the situation on Mastodon (and mutually-intelligible platforms) right now. I tried it sometime around 2017/2018 and never stuck around, but after dragging 100+ of you sickos with me on my second attempt I've been having a good time. I feel like Mastodon has gone through these cycles of mass-adoption and abandonment several times already and is fairly comfortable with the routine, while the Reddit exodus is the first time this has ever happened for Lemmy. Kind of like how when this site launched we thought it was going to change the world, but now, even though we are content with it, we pretend that never happened. The rest of Lemmy will eventually come to grips in the same way, and if tens of thousands of them stick around it will still be a halfway decent place.
