I don't think spamming Reddit with Lemmy links will do much besides paint a picture of Lemmy users as obnoxious. I'd rather have Lemmy differentiate itself as more than just a Reddit alternative by offering something different and have the users come on their own. It's not about quantity for me, but quality. For example, I'd love to see some communities that focus on long-form discussions and heavy moderation to promote a more nuanced debate. I'd also love to see some media outlets host and moderate their own Lemmy instances to try and move the debate away from Facebook and the likes.
