This sounds like something Lemmy would also really benefit from.

This is something a lot of forums and more private/restricted communities had years ago. It creates a barrier, and if some specific community wants to activate that - sure. But for most instances and communities it’s not relevant.
Lemmy has it (or did) already. Some instances use it, many don’t.
No, there is only a very basic option that implements maybe a third of what Pixelfed does now.
Is there something more to it that’s not highlighted in the linked blog post?
Did you read the entire blog post?
Lemmy’s system gives no feedback to applicants at all and is a single input field that offers no guided onboarding what so ever. It’s not even a proof of concept compared to what the blog post describes for Pixelfed.
Yes, however without experience with Lemmy’s implementation, it wasn’t clear what the differences were. From what I’ve read of Lemmy’s basic implementation, i.e. submit a reason with your registration/application, this didn’t sound that far from it.
As I read it, Pixelfed’s request for more information form is a good addition (better than the awkward roundabout way you’d have to handle it otherwise, as I think I recall seeing come up with Lemmy), albeit as it’s optional we’ll have to see how well it’s used in practice.
