Yeah, I agree with this. I was checking different instances and communities today, and while there are tons of smaller instances, most of the communities are centered around bigger instances.
Fun fact: I joined lemmy.world and started nintendo community here when join-lemmy showed it had 3 users / month, and lemmy.world registrations required approvals. Didn't sign up on lemmy.ml to spread out the load to smaller instances. Didn't know it would become the largest instance soon after that.
I understand and I have no issue with communities existing on big isntances, but moving extablished community is a perfect opportunity to choose a smaller instance as it's easy to convert existing subscribers.
Again, if I had more time to evaluate alternatives I likely would have gone down this path. What I will say is if a migration tool for communities is developed, I will look into migrating again in order to accomplish this goal
And I established on lemmy.ml originally when my only real options at the time were ml and beehaw, and beehaw was more restrictive on signups and didn't allow for community creation. Things change fast.
