Instance getting too centralized? (self.lemmyworld)

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.

This is kinda already happening. Searching for tech gives me more than 3 communities that are about the same thing, all in different instances

I'm more thinking about old threads. I used to search in subreddits because some information is still useful after years (guides for games, comments on movies/series, ...). The information, e.g. this thread, will only be in one instance. Even if there's a similar community in another instance, this thread will die with lenny.world.
