Makes some sense, but market ownership doesn’t only go up, it goes down too. Services absolutely have downturns as well, and that’s what we’re really relying on. Like, reddits troubles the past year, for instance.
Also, note, we still have user-facing issues to resolve. This platform in its current form has a limited appeal to non-techy people. That won’t change until the front-end gets more development and features. As it stands, average non-techy user pokes around a little bit and goes “ehhhh”, and it’s not necessarily due to a lack of content. That’s just a singular factor.
Your assessment of Lemmy content seems to indicate you follow news and Fediverse communities.
Truly diverse content will come with the users, the users make the content, not the content making the users. You need something with the polish, simplicity and ease-of-use the average public expects though.
Sounds like a correlation. Note, I’m not saying content quantity has no impact. I said several comments ago it is a factor. So, that it means I think it is a factor. It’s just one though.
And don’t get me wrong, it’s an important one too. But not the most important imo. It is, however, one we can influence, so that’s nice.

Need more cat pics communities.
Yes, I think we can agree on that. Our disagreement involves what will bring them, I do not think more content alone would be sufficient.
