Do public visitors need an account to read answers

Question

Do people need to create an account just to read answers, or only when they want to post a new question?

Marcus Lee · Accepted Answer

I read this forum for months before ever making an account, reading is completely open, you only need to sign in to post a question or vote.

Hannah Wright · Answer

Same experience, browsed for weeks before ever signing up.

Right, reading and even searching is fully public, sign in is only needed to post, vote, or follow a thread.

Kai Tanaka · Answer

Can confirm, read for a long time before ever signing up myself.

Chloe Bennett · Answer

Same, only made an account once I wanted to ask something myself.
