Registrations during migration (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Was wondering what this instance is going to do if/when a lot of Reddit users migrate to Lemmy instances. From what I've read, there's a high chance that a lot of instances will go down due to the amount of activity and new users.

Is this instance going to restrict registrations temporarily during it, or will it leave them open and hope for the best?

My take is that at some point open registrations either lead to the site getting overloaded or become a magnet for spammers, trolls, and disinfo. So one approach is to leave them open as long as there's a fair amount of spare hardware capacity and there aren't reports of significant spamming, trolling, and disinfo on other sites with open registrations -- but be ready to limit down open registrations at least temporarily at the first sign of trouble.
