When a user is looking for an instance with open registration (eg on join-lemmy.org), she is probably looking for one to sign up, possibly verify email, and then start commenting immediately. Having to fill in an application form and waiting for approval adds a lot of friction, and makes it more likely that the user will ignore Lemmy. Besides, getting a lot of applications would create too much work for admins.
