I don’t think Lemmy will ever get the mainstream attention that reddit has to get big celebrity AMAs, but that may be a good thing, if it stays a genuine place like it is currently, people will come.
FWIW, some celebrities have took part in the fediverse, specifically Mastodon, to varying successes. Some have stayed and integrated with their communities while others have been chased out. Generally I think if you respect the culture of the fediverse you won’t have that much of a problem, celebrity or otherwise.
I’m leaning on content I’ve seen thus far but-
If this becomes the place where content holds people, they will stay. To replace -the other site- Lemmy needs to be the place the general internet comes to for information and community questions. In this early stage people need to cement “this is where to come for answers” with regards to…everything. eli5, me-irl and even ask-reddit needs to come here. We joke about how Listicles hijack Reddit content but that’s a sign of healthy creation at work. It gets the average non-reddit user conscious of the product and to come there when they have a question.
What needs to happen (if lemmy wants to replace Reddit) is lemmy needs that. It needs to enter the public conscience as an information nexus. To what degree is up for debate of each Instances admin. Beehaw straight said “nope”

Reddit already killed the big AMAs anyway, but I get what you’re saying.

I don’t think reddit is that important to warrant replacement. Should be building something new and better on top of its ruins.
But I agree, good original content by passionate people is what makes people stay.
