One feature I like from Mastodon and Pleroma/Akkoma is the ability to have registrations put into an approval queue.

Basically when a user signs up, there's an additional field where they would need to state some sort of reason for signing up. They then get put into a queeue subject to admin review. The account is active only once an admin approves that registration.

This is useful for cutting down on spam accounts or for instances which want to allow registrations but also want to curate those.
