LW is also the top instance hit (for me) in a DuckDuckGo search, also being the only search result that is actually an instance. So that, plus people referring it, could keep it going.
Are perhaps apps offering it as their default recommendation? If so, perhaps that could be changed to a different one like lemm.ee or something (assuming they can only handle a singular one in that capacity). Edit: I just wiped all my data for Voyager (Android), sacrificing that to test and find that actually lemm.ee rather than LW already is its default - neat!:-)
People also continue to spread the misinformation (IMHO) that https://join-lemmy.org should be used to pick an instance. I just tried it now and do you want to guess which instance it pointed me towards? hexbear.net, not joking! 😺
So if you wanted to spread things out s little more, it may be time for another Lemmy post to help new Lemmings know what the factors involved are, especially the new recruits from Reddit lately.
Lemmygrad.ml also appears in that list, although unironically of the big 3 instances, that one I actually respect due to the honesty of their label:
A collection of Marxist communities, for memes, learning, news, discussion, media, or anything you like.
Someone reading that could either become enthused or conversely nope out easily, it’s when the label doesn’t match that causes the vast majority of the problems.
