I think significant media outlet uptake is more of a Mastodon metric, Reddit has a few high profile media outlet accounts - Tampa Bay Times I remember seeing quite a bit, they did a lot of good journalism about Scientology because Clearwater, but I think a lot of news companies slept on Reddit while it was worth using.
I think we have hit an interesting level for notability though. I use Bazzite Linux, and last month they sent a broken update for their version with legacy Nvidia drivers. I was one of the first people on the internet reporting having problems in a post here on Lemmy. As I stated to search my problem, I found that someone on the Bazzite forums linked to my Lemmy post because they had the same problem. They never commented in my thread and they may not even have an account. When’s the last time you saw a Tildes link in the wild?
Last I heard there’s still some problems with it and I’m guessing they won’t be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that’s defederated with yours but not the community instance?
Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.
