What works for me on both mastodon and Lemmy is a free text question: why do you want to join?
The user enters whatever they like and it goes into a moderation queue. Both lemmy and mastodon send me an email when a new account is ready to review.
I read the response and choose to whether to approve their account. At the moment, spammers are really bad at answering the “why do you want to join” questions.
Makes sense as well.
