The monkey’s paw part is that since you specified actual Lemmy, that means the software is still controlled by the original devs, and moderation tools continue to develop at the same pace.
It gets flooded by influencers, scammers, viruses, and corporations.
Another interesting side effect is that since that means the entire population of China -17% of world population - switches from Weibo and Weichat (not to mention Douban etc) then Lemmy becomes a major focus of both CCP propaganda/firewalls and hackers.
The dark net is now carried out on Lemmy too. So is your friend’s racist grandma, all Putin’s trolls, and millions of Hindu nationalists, the contents of Truth Social, etc etc.
