afaik this is not something that we were involved in, but the lemmy devs implemented a threshold to exclude instances with 30% or more monthly active user share.
i don't mind it, better distribution of users across instances is good.
It's a mistake, imo. Any server that's managed by a team (org) instead of one person and is hosted in a datacenter and with a reasonable number of users should have priority on that list.
It's great that you can host Lemmy from your basement. But that experience should be left for advanced users who understand federation, and won't have an issue migrating when feddit.de goes down.

I think LW agreed to remove their listing because they are already very big.

I stand corrected.
