Much the popular posts in lemmy are memes, shitpostings, or politics/technology news which we can easily obtain from other media. The way I see it, lemmy lacks experts, scientists, doctors etc that that can bring interest and credibility to the posts or threads. They can help generate quality contents, what lemmy lacks till now.
You're right that lemmy primarily needs content, and it doesn't have to be just credentialed experts. It will grow in appeal the more there are real communities discussing whatever their subject of interest is.
