I'm definitely going to be helping out with a join lemmy banner somewhere
This is exactly what they want. You'll give them clicks and anything they don't like will be removed.
Hard to imagine that the clicks will make a difference, they have hundreds of millions of users. If we give them 1% more clicks and grow Lemmy by 100%, that's a worthwhile trade-off.
You really think they want advertisements for "the new Reddit" all over their IPO showcase project?
There will 100% be mod overreach, but I'm guessing/hoping it will be more focused on removing people making a big API and fuck u/spez. Sure, those few of us working on maintaining it will add some clicks but it's a drop in the ocean to them. Its a public place (pun unintended) seen by a great many people. The benefit to us will be greater than to reddit.
Someone should create a community on Lemmy to coordinate
