Oh no, I do think it's a huge threat. The fediverse in its entirety is horrifying to so many large companies. That's why facebook is desperate to try and step into the fediverse and is getting more and more pissed off as people are going "nuh uh!"
Mastodon is good, but lemmy does have the most potential out of most fediverse projects to become truly really really big if done right. It's like activitypub was made for this kind of platform. Having to just pull entire communities rather than specific users is a big step up from mastodon and reduces the complexity that bars a lot of people from joining mastodon
