Can it be practical if several instances get created programmatically?
Well, if we had a DDOS-like barrage of troll instances, probably a solution would be to institute a "pending federation request" for any new communities.
This should be the default in the next Lemmy version because otherwise it's only going to get easier for people to launch new instances and it's going to get too overwhelming
A reputation/trustworthiness rating for instances might be helpful too, something akin to karma but for the instance as a whole. More vulnerable communities would be able to set a minimum trust requirement for unapproved participation.
Matrix was working on something similar a whole back, although it may be easier to do on Lemmy
Looks interestsing.
Would it be also possible to ask for a captcha on the first interactions users from new instances make?
No, because they would have to solve captchas on every instance they're federated with. You'd be solving like 29 captchas per post
