It depends on what you mean by "replace".
The Fediverse may cause centralized social-media networks to join the Fediverse.
There are some hints of that happening now.
Facebook / Meta has created a new social-media network that is part of the Fediverse.
Tumblr and Flickr are said to be joining the Fediverse.
So, some "popular social media" may become one with the Fediverse.
Nothing is "official" on the Fediverse.
Because it is decentralized, no one controls it (and thus nothing can be "official").
I'm on the Fediverse, but not on Lemmy.
And I am replying to you.
Welcome to the Fediverse!

That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.
