(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count? (lemmy.world)

To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had registered on it. There could be a link to join-lemmys instance overview.

I'm not sure. But maybe it makes sense to sign up to more than one instance.

My main account is on lemmy.world, but now I've signed up to another one on aussie.zone. I can see all the content from there and it's nice and fast unlike world at the moment.

It feels kind of like I'm experiencing a benefit of federation, when I can simply switch accounts and keep browsing when things slow down on one instance.
