big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

...which has been happening for a few months now. 90% of the newcomers join LW, either because someone recommends it to them or because they just don't care about decentralization or don't understand federation.

LW should actually close their registrations down for a while, but I guess they just don't want to (iirc the admins acted pretty ignorant). It is very concerning that most active communities are in LW or Lemmy.ml.

Any plans to move !asklemmy@lemmy.world to another instance?

No idea, I'm not the one that owns !asklemmy@lemmy.world, so ask @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world instead. In fact, you asked me about this in the past. Didn't you say you would make one?
