Mastadon had enough friendly coverage that we'll see the occasional celebrity interact with the Fediverse through there. But Lemmy? I would expect celebrities to look to kbin first solely based on public perception of Lemmy and fear of getting associated with extremists.

Headlines, the general public, and most celebrities won't differentiate between Lemmy the software and individual Lemmy instances.

Based on who's on Mastadon though, George Takei. Fitting that a Star Trek alum is engaged in the Fediverse.
