I think that there will be people who remain on Lemmy permanently. This group will remain small, and insignificant. But hopefully there will be enough people to prop the instances up with content. At which point Lemmy will begin to grow slowly; this slow growth imo is the most important. But yeah alot of people will go back to Reddit and forget all about Lemmy. And that's ok.

this is the most redditish comment I've seen so far.

remains to be seen if that's a good thing or not, but I did chuckle over the familiar joke

I was about to say the exact same thing! I checked and sure enough that commenter joined in the last few hours.

I've purged my account.. and passed the Rubicon. I'm on Lemmy now or just reading news sites.
