EDIT: we just crossed 30K š„³
We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving š„

I'd rather not see one instance become overly dominant, it just acts to centralize content and puts undue strain on that instance.Thing is, as long as it's not possible to merge similar communities from different instances, large instances are actually preferable from a User uxperience point of view.
@hardypart
Agreed; I was more concerned with the possibility of the vast bulk of communities ending up on a couple instances rather than having major communities spread out. Having some way to keep similar communities connected and effectively moderated would be a great boon for us. How we best go about that, I'm not sure.
