Lemmy.World, almost certainly. As it is, they’re on track to surpass lemmy.ml, and lemmy.ml has stated that they don’t really want to be a big instance, but would prefer to be a smaller one like they used to be, redirecting new users to other instances, not least of all because the number of users was causing the server to implode.
Kbin is nice, and all, but it’s technically its own thing, and isn’t really a lemmy instance, even if it can be used as one. It’s not quite as big as the others are.
Beehaw’s account creation limits will almost certainly hamper any growth they will get, even if they decided to refederate with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works again, but even then, they were still the third-biggest before defederating, so it might be a bit of a toss-up.

They wanted to keep things personal and civil so they closed the gates.
