Every instance is run by distinct admins. You can't say that Lemmy as a whole is run by any specific group.
Idk. The software most people here use is made by a small group of specific people. It affects us all as this defines the interaction and moderation tools that are available. And dictates what admins and mods can and cannot do.
Also the large instances have a dysproportionate amount of say. For example the largest communities are on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world. They run most of Lemmy.
Technically it's all distributed over several different people. But they're not equal in opportunity or reach.
We juste moved our community to [email protected] hopefully others will do the same
It would definitely be better if users spread more evenly over the instances, yes.
