How to make instances have even less power? (lemmy.world)

The federated concept is nice. But I feel like what will happen in the end is that most of the content will end up on few instances. This still gives power to the owners of these instances, and if they delete the instance a lot of people would lose accounts?

What would be your ideas to improve this and have less centralization?

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have your account automatically replicated in another instance. Modern databases do this across hard drives in order to back up data.
