I don't think Steemit should copy-paste the strategy of Diply. In the Diply-Facebook tandem Steemit is Facebook .
So what Steemit should do is to invite and stimulete "influencers" (first of all of cryptoworld) to use it as primary platform.
For example, now everyone gets $3 of SteemPower for registration - Steemit could make it dependent upon the number of the followers.
