Is Lemmy.world centralization worth fighting against? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Probably a very polarizing question.

On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see this post), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole.

On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance

spreading out a bit would be nice, although there are some things that could help some of these issues anyways

federation: parallel sending per instance
Federate lightweight list of communities to ease discovery / find remote communities (helps "every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance")
