I imagine there's excitement for the increase of activity but worries about the potential toxic side of Reddit coming along too.

I'd especially be interested in the Lemmy devs' opinions.

Aww, but Reddit pun threads are fun.

Agreed, I hope there is room for pun threads here too.

Once you've seen the Anne Frankly one more than a few times, you'll have had enough

They're fine when appropriate. It's nauseating how they're inserted everywhere.

Yeah, when a simple bots can post most of the replies. E.g. if post.contains("r/theydidthemath") { post.reply("/r/theydidthemonstermath"); } then it's gone too far. There are some good, creative ones, like The Old Reddit Switch-a-roo, but they're too few and far between.
