it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...
No it wouldn't be really nice, plus Beehaw, ShitJustWorks, Blahaj are big enough
Top 20 most active communities say otherwise: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active
I said "big enough" & no one's stopping them from migrating to Other instances
Inertia is a predominant effect for users. Also, a lot of people setup their LW accounts when Sync defaulted to it and have no idea how to migrate as it's not an option in the app
Even then I rather have them here than Reddit, let's get them on Lemmy & then we'll deal with fallout
We can work on migration features after we get critical mass (I want Lemmy to grow & Reddit to perish/diminish, that's all)
