servers would crash
the reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy
the shitty jokes would continue here
just check r/redditmoment, do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments
the Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people (that could figure out the whole instances thing), that isn't the case for Reddit

I've been around long enough now to know that that sort of thing is unavoidable long term (and with popularity). The good thing about Lemmy is it's pretty low-friction to set up a new community on a different instance if need be.
