If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

It kinda makes me wish that instances were forced to be single-topic, or even single-community, and that authentication was key-based so that you didn't need to "make" an account on a single instance.
The key based (and content addressing based) thing is what bluesky is building. They're starting of with Twitterish microblogging, but there's people building forums on top the protocol too. Federated, of course.
Lemmy is built upon the ActivityPub Protocol which has the flaws mentioned above Bluesky is built upon the AtProtocol which to me also looks kinda great https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wJBCpzM1VfM ;- Video that explains the difference (i just watched it minutes ago) https://atproto.com/docs ;-Docs for learning how it works
