it's a well written feature request (without the additional unrelated info) that unfortunately people disagree with, let's keep it as it is
Allow posting without logging in at least in some communities
- I ran the search queries "anonymous", "register" and "unregistered" in the search box but didn't find a thread about why isn't anonymous/unregistered contribution allowed here.
- I recall one or two cases were I sat in the bus and wanted to ask something without logging in but didn't do so because I avoid logging in to any application from my smartphone's browsers (from several reasons) and avoid installing any unnecessary apps (Codidact's app is unnecessary for me) so I published these questions in Stack Exchange instead, were some communities there do allow posting without logging in.
- I suggest to allow it as a measure to bring more initial content creators (i.e. askers) to the site.

I recall one or two cases were I sat in the bus and wanted to ask something without logging in but didn't do so because I barely log in to any application from my smartphone's browsers and barely install any apps (and don't want to install Codidacts app because the website is enough for me) so I published these questions in Stack Exchange instead (some communities there do allow posting without logging in).- I suggest to allow it as a measure to bring more initial content creators (i.e. askers) to the site.

Allow posting without logging in at least in some communities
