In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it’s not easy to find people you don’t know in order to follow them, and vice versa.
And Lemmy doesn’t have a button to follow individual users or have a multireddit, for them or for some communities. On Reddit I had my porn subs collected into one tab (+Friends tab) and this didn’t show anywhere else, but there it’s only solvable by creating another account on lemmynsfw for that while banning all porn on your main acc. Following one creator without their own /c/ is a problem.
IIRC Wordpress had plugins to autorepost into other places. Maybe if Lemmy had one, it could’ve been perceived as less isolated by OC authors. For now you need to put effort to post a thing there too, for the sake of a small 1 mil userbase.
Probably near zero chance. Fediverse is dead empty compared to the alternatives, so not ideal if they want to reach out to their fans.
You know, that’s a bit chicken-egg, right? Like, platforms don’t magically get users, those users need a reason to want to be there.

i think the reddit/lemmy format is more suited to following communities not people

Tesseract have them
Kbin had them (called collection)
Hopefully mbin will catch up: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/547
My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because “everyone is (moving) there”
