Well, I'm not blaming the people, really. This is a communication issue, it should be well advertised to do it "correctly" and it should actually be the easiest option.

How I see it is that every decentralized system with people is going to form some sort of centralization unless you actively fight against it.

In Lemmy's case, new people will check what are the biggest communities and go there, and since there are more people there, it attract even more people. More people, more communities in that instance.
