Is a captcha out of the question? I guess that wouldn't capture trolls, but maybe it could slightly reduce the application burden.

We have open approvals. But lemmy still triggers this email. I leave it on so that I can manually track new joins and check them out if they look questionable

Do those even work any more? I was under the impression that AI has made CAPTCHAs pretty much useless.
