If you go to lemmy.ml it's just a bunch of fucking redditors with their dogshit memes and like three lemme users. It's sad. I strongly encourage users of this site who are so inclined to take a break from infighting to bully neoliberals over there.

I just see a huge chance to reopen the lib-to-leftist pipeline, except this time, communists control the website :xicko:
Someone on here a few weeks back talked about the origins of the mod "tankie takeover" on Reddit leftist subs, and how there was an organized attempt to push the sub in a more politically radical/less liberal direction, then shunning or banning dissenters, and educating/forging the remaining posters. Perhaps that is what Lemmy is about to experience.
That requires communists having control.
This site is controlled by commies, so yes.
Also the main lemmy devs are all on the left and reference various ML leaders on the reg.

I think there are only two impacts on us that would happen.
More visibility = more new users = some will be lib. So mods will have a bigger workload for a while.
We will only federate with a few other instances and what that would usually mean is their users can comment on our posts. e.g. lemmygrad users. They can already do this, of course, by just making an account here. It would just be easier to do and easier to discover this website, meaning even more of 1, essentially.
I suspect this may be a part of the rational to not just turn all the libs away on lemmy.ml (or maybe I'm just too hopeful). Gain an audience, then teach them they're wrong.
