Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

By read-only, I mean they couldn't create any communities. So essentially it would be an instance that has accounts but nothing else. Users would still be able to vote and comment on other commnities and subscribe. They could stay on it if they wanted to, but of course they wouldn't be able to create any communities.
That doesn't help at all, I'd say. Most people won't ever create communities.
Like the other person said, 99% of users never create communities anyway. I don't really know what this read-only instance is meant to solve.
It would solve the problem of choosing an instance, as the join Lemmy process would sign you up to that automatically rather than making them choose an instance.
