I think another reason too is that .world is run by Ruud who is a trusted actor in the space (he already runs Mastodon.world, a large mastodon instance), and so many (including me) probably felt it would be a safe harbor and not likely to get shut down or run poorly.
This is a brilliant idea. Drive all the traffic to lemmy.world as it seems like the “main hub”, then when registering drive users to a few other instances as well

Maybe ony Lemmy.world’s registration page thay can list other instances that they trust and endorse.
