i have nothing but anecdotal evidence to go off of but just today i saw a lemmy post used as a source in a news article, which i can’t say i’ve ever seen of any other “link aggregator” aside from reddit. so it’s certainly up there!
and like others said, the activitypub interoperability certainly helps. i’m an mbin user but i’d wager more than half of my subscribed “magazines” are actually lemmy communities

404media is exactly the site I would expect to be aware of Lemmy among the semi-mainstream tech outlets (along with TheVerge to a lesser extent).
I saw Lemmy on an Instagram meme page, and I haven’t seen any other reddit alternative (unless you count 4chan technically)
Holy shit that’s pretty sweet
