Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

As long as it doesn't end up with a bunch of bad actors leaving reddit for here and bringing their shit with them, making this place as bad as reddit has become.
It will. I think it's inevitable, unless Lemmy development starts focusing on automated mod tools as soon as possible. You don't want to deal with hundreds of thousand of users without a good content filter, it's basically impossible. And it will be even harder due to the federated nature, since it's easier to sneak unmoderated content into the network.
We'll be fine as long as there isn't corporate or financial interests. More humans of all kinds is fine. Making Mastadon and Lemmy unfriendly place for "profit", (marketing and advertising) means that greed won't drive people's behaviour. Greed for clout is still greed.
I hope more center and right wing people will come so conversations become more interesting.
Clearly some people don't like diversity.
