That sounds like a great idea. I'm pretty tech savvy and still struggled a bit with finding a Lemmy community that wasn't overloaded, didn't have restrictions that weren't suitable for my intended use, etc. I tried to create accounts on 2 other instances before succeeding.
I'm sure there are diverse views on this issue, but it seems to me Lemmy will be the most fun if there are enough users being active in enough communities to serve most of users' various interests. We don't have to have as many users as Reddit, but just enough to make things maximally interesting. And I fear we won't get there without lower barriers to entry.
