(Repost) When do you think the Fediverse would have a leverage?
Here and there we see people earning and losing career over Twitter, Facebook posts, even if illusionary, it makes news.
When would Mastodon, Lemmy posts get enough traction to get into news?
Unlike them, Reddit has zero credibility, but still has many articles about it and internal reddit dramas.
Where would we as a fediverse reach the point ArsTech and others would refer to our post and comments as a proof of something?
We have a wet dream of them all relocating from X-itter to free platforms and self-hosting, but the first breaking point would be if they refer to us like we are real. When and how it would be? I don't know.

I hate to say it but it'll basically never happen. The whole reddit uprising ended uo being a big nothing burger and I can't really see anything bringing an equal migration/influx.
A lot of people here seem to actively reject popularity and want the fediverse to stay small, too
Yep, quite true. It's not too bad either, new posts each day and a decent flow of (positive) comments and news sharing. Could be waaay worse.
Not quite - organic growth is welcome. What we don't want is a mass migration of 100 Million Reddit users.
A lot of people's justifications for not liking threads being part of the fediverse was because they didn't like the idea of the fediverse becoming mainstream.
Fair. Though, I think the difference between the two hordes is that the Lemmy user experience feels a lot like Reddit. Reddit's userbase would arrive, take one look at the place and treat it as the same place they came from.
Lemmy is not like either Facebook or Insta - so I don't think their users would be so inclined to simply take over culturally.
I wouldn't say that. If it wasn't for the whole reddit fiasco, I would've never even heard of Lemmy. Now I use it more than reddit.
