Here and there we see people earning and losing career over Twitter, Facebook posts, even if illusionary, it makes news.

When would Mastodon, Lemmy posts get enough traction to get into news?

Unlike them, Reddit has zero credibility, but still has many articles about it and internal reddit dramas.

Where would we as a fediverse reach the point ArsTech and others would refer to our post and comments as a proof of something?

We have a wet dream of them all relocating from X-itter to free platforms and self-hosting, but the first breaking point would be if they refer to us like we are real. When and how it would be? I don't know.

It depends. Instances like Mastodo may start having some weight in future but I don't think that Lemmy will loose his 'niche' status anytime soon. Discord have more users as well, but you never hear of him in the news, people know Discord but is still not mainstream.

As far as mainstream is concerned. Discord is known as "That platform where moderators groom kids" since that's the only things that ever reach the news
