All it took was for a few power users, aka content thieves, someone like MrBabyMan who's spent all conscious time submitting entertaining content from other less user friendly platforms, to convince a majority of users on the internet to pay attention to reddit more.

Simply getting more content, regardless of its quality or dubious origin, only as long as it is interesting or entertaining, will draw more users here. This is probably not what people want, but that's what it will take for Lemmy to take off.
