Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.
The same applies to the mastodon . Social instance and the same applies really to every Fediverse software available, with the exception of pixelfed.
with the exception of pixelfed
Why not that one? I'm not familiar with pixelfed.
Pixelfed has a default limit to the number of users per instance.
But this is only a default right? Surely an admin can open registration anyway?
I believe yes, but at the last time I checked it out no instance had open registration, matter of fact you will have to look for good time for a free instance to register on.
Maybe they changed it now, but 1 year ago that was the case.
