I think we need to add a couple more barriers to prevent spam. What about limiting posting to X amount of posts, or for new users or something?

How about that a moderator’s bot removes all posts and votes until approval? Then the bot will cancel its removing after the approval. In this case, lemmy requires no change.
This instance does not allow bots, and the moderation system, although more complicated to implement (maybe) will be useful in the longer run.
What you are proposing is “approved users” type of model that reddit keeps optional, and is rarely used. Bad idea I think.
