Honestly? The only thing Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse needs is institutional backing.
Take something simple like a game company releasing updates, changelogs, DLC announcements, and AMAs, in addition to semi-official communities or just places the developers interact with the community. Right now, for the vast majority of games, those things are happening on Twitter and Reddit, or sometimes private forums.
The Fediverse will become dominant once and only once institutions (government, business, media, etc.) start using it over centralized platforms. It will never truly take off until a Lemmy community becomes the “go-to” place for, say, discussing Paradox Interactive games, over the existing Subreddits.
