EDIT: Thank you all for your answers, now I’m reassured this platform is in good hands and we will always have the freedom to switch. Let’s make this place vibrant, diverse and decentralized, like the old web used to be.

I feel like this instance is getting too big and all the content is being centralized here. Am I right or there are other instances thriving too?

Wherever I go I keep seeing lots of lemmy.world users and communities and kind of feel worried about centralization.

    I think that is true. Could be because instances like Lemmy.ml don’t let new users create an account, beehaw unfederated other instances and kbin also has some problems with federation… So, only Lemmy.world can really thrive I guess. Other instances I have not seen that much. Maybe sh.itjust.works (or something like that) are thriving but I don’t know.

      I’ve been using Kbin and from what I know they only have a single instance of Lemmy unfederated, and I’ve found a few magazines I really like so far, but most content I’ve seen has been from Lemmy

        Oh, my bad. I thought I read it somewhere that it was having some problems because of CloudFlare protection so the site would not go down by the flood of new users.
