I don’t think Lemmy has it (there is an open issue for invitation links that I don’t believe anyone has worked on). I don’t think MBin or Piefed have it either. Not sure about Mastodon. The beauty of FOSS though is if someone wants it bad enough, they can implement it themselves.

but admins can do it in the signup application questionnaire and just keep track with a spreadsheet

  I thought about mentioning that but removed it since the invites would really only be able to come from the admin and maybe a small select group of people. Setting up an invite system with a spreadsheet and involving more than just a few people would likely become a messy and complex endeavor very quickly.

For sure. I’ve personally contributed to C++ FOSS projects before. There are a few big hurdles between idea and implementation though.

Personally I don’t know enough about web development or the software stack involved in various fediverse projects to be of much help with implementation right now. So the only thing I can really do at this point in time is put the idea out there, whatever little that’s worth.
