Lemmy/fediverse is too small for big creators now, which is why celebrities are still on Twitter and not on Mastadon. At the end of the day it's still a business descision.
That being said... Unlike Twitter, on Lemmy, the content is the links to content created by creators regardless of where they post it. I think we will see Lemmy rise much more quickly than Mastadon. But it'll rise for sure for the same reason Reddit became what it is originally.
So maybe give it some time?
I'd also say that mastodon is hurt by the lack of the "algorithm". I know it was perceived as a very bad thing on twitter since it was seemingly pushing their own agenda and ads, which is probably true - but not having anything like that on mastodon just means that your feed is a random jumble of everyone's thoughts or discussions overshadowing actually interesting/popular posts. A middle ground would be nice to have.
That's what instances are for. Different instances for different interests. Is it more complicated? Definitely, but it's the best alternative
I've been seeing bot-mirror accounts of real accounts on mastodon. Just do the reverse. Be on Twitter, but prioritize this "hot new thing"
