Allow users to invite other users

(#4017) Feature Open: Under consideration community self-hosting

Current problem

I would like to run a friends-and-family instance that is slightly more open than an admin-approval-only instance. Specifically, I would like to allow existing users of the instance to invite other users.

Proposed change

Users can create single-use signup links from their settings that bypass the signup approval process. As an additional feature, it would be nice if the following worked
  • Account request with admin approval is still possible as a parallel option
  • I can limit the width and depth of the invite tree
  • I can ban specific users from using the invite feature

Platform

Self-hosting

Additional information

I am taking inspiration from the invite option of closed mastodon servers and from private tracker websites.
