What "Lemmy" will be arguing this and where, though?
If you have a company, that's easy for a government to go after. Lemmy is software built and run for free by randoms on the internet. They might try to go after the devs if any of them reside in Australia, but they'd have a very hard time stopping it. We've seen that sort of effort fail before, when China and India tried to ban Bitcoin. We see it in North Korea even now, where people still access banned networks and content all the time.
Most Lemmy admins are just trying to do their best. If the Aussie government publishes realistic guidelines for small services then many instances will probably make an effort to follow them. How enforceable it is is not the point.
"Lemmy" as a thought experiment, not Lemmy with a lawyer in court. Devs wouldn't be affected, it would apply to the people running the service (I.e instance admins)
