So the cost of getting a post on the front page of every Lemmy instance is the cost of registering a new domain.
Until a mod catches it and reports it to the admins, yeah.
Lemmy isn't the absolute most well thought out platform in many regards, I don't think anyone expected Reddit to actively go hostile and drive such an amount of users to Lemmy.
Def not, I'd say Lemmy was at least a few years out from being stable and on par with Reddit as far as software goes. There are still fundamental questions and problems that need to be answered and solved.
I say was because Reddit going hostile and driving such a large influx of users is a bit of a double edged sword. On one hand it was just barely ready for more active use, but not to scale.
OTOH, the large influx is also driving accelerated development so Lemmy was years out before, but what about now now that it's getting all this focus and drive to get things done, that I do not know, but I'd say it's much faster than it was before
