I think the common person doesn’t really care too much about anything except how many other people are on the platform.
If you could get a majority of people to use Lemmy or Mastodon, more would follow. The biggest barrier to attracting users isn’t necessarily the layout, the content, the features, etc. it’s getting people to know about it in the first place. The biggest advantage the corporate sites have, is advertising.
I only see advocation for things like Lemmy, Mastodon and other Fediverse/ActivityPub related sites on these sites. You’re preaching to the choir. We’re already here. Go advertise on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and Shitter. This only has the unfortunate side effect of needing to use Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and Shitter to advertise.

Not sure about the others, but wasn’t Reddit banning people for talking up Lemmy a while back (or at least removing the comments)?
