Why don’t all these communities just move over here instead

There would need to be a significant number of new instances to accommodate that. I'm sure some will pop up, but even a single moderate sized sub sending 100% of users to lemmy could crash a handful of the top existing instances (basically wherever those 10s of thousands of users choose to go). We need more servers and decentralization.
