This one instance already represents 41% of all active Lemmy users which is too much. We should stop sending more users to lemmy.world to avoid further centralization. In practice this may not have a noticable effect as users are directly sent to lemmy.world and not join-lemmy.org, but there is nothing else we can do.

I think this is a good move. It's best that no single instance becomes the "default" instance.

I agree, and am good to merge this.

I don't think it will really fix the problem though, as the main onboarding to lemmy.world is people installing and signing up to lemmy through apps, nearly all of which are defaulting to lemmy.world.

I'm guilty of this also with jerboa, defaulting to lemmy.ml for anonymous accounts, when in reality it should pick one at random.
