EDIT: Thank you all for your answers, now I'm reassured this platform is in good hands and we will always have the freedom to switch. Let's make this place vibrant, diverse and decentralized, like the old web used to be.

I feel like this instance is getting too big and all the content is being centralized here. Am I right or there are other instances thriving too?

Wherever I go I keep seeing lots of lemmy.world users and communities and kind of feel worried about centralization.

I didn't consider that because I don't search that way. I didn't search for specific communities. Per your example I would have searched "Chi" then slowly added letters until what I wanted came up. Chicago is proper so that doesn't really work. But there are several ways to look for autism related stuff, because it could be autism or autistic or whatever and if you just put in "auti" you get all of it. And since I saw that there can be more than one with the same community name, I know in the next few weeks I will have to keep searching for new ones.

I would rather use my energy to do that than go back to reddit. Not everybody would feel what they did was bad enough to warrant expending that energy. Okay that's not great for diversity but once things settle down it will be pretty close to that easy.
