This platforms are really new and it's hard to switch a social media account when you have a following. You have to decide by yourself if this is a fight you are willing to take. I think the best way to do it is to slowly switch and post both places for some time which might be a long time still.
This also happens for the consumers, if there's no content to consume it's hard to switch. That's why we need content creators to also slowly switch. I try to open first the alternatives and if I find there's not much content I check back on reddit but I try to not use it if I don't need to. This takes more effort than just ignoring the whole fediverse thing but I think it's something worth fighting for. With the current situation I think it has become very obvious that social media (or to put it in another way: how humans communicate with one another) shouldn't be controlled by a private company.
