Yeah I think people have what happened to Digg in their minds and think there'll just be one single huge Exodus and Lemmy will explode over night, but that's unlikely. We just have to keep trucking and overtime reddit inc will make more and more stupid decisions and each time Lemmy and the dedicated will grow a but larger. Not to mention Twitter is imploding even faster, maybe we'll gain users from there.
Having a small community in the meantime isn't so bad anyway, there's less low effort comments and you can recognise people sometimes which is cool. There's positives and negatives to both small and large communities.
