I hope it does coalesce into something good. I was so tired of the toxicity on Reddit from both regular users and the power-tripping mods. Yuck.

The good thing is that if an instance gets too toxic the users that don't like that can just jump to another one. The ideal would be to move your already existing account to the new instance but I don't how difficult or how much that would take to implement

Yeah, I think good / bad would be a generalisation. If lemmy grows then there will be good bits and bad bits. The difference of course is that anyone can spin up their own instance, so there's much more likelihood that some instances will be predominantly well run and enjoyable to be a part of.
