How can I get invited to lobste.rs

The primary way to get in is to know a current user, and to have them invite you.

Invitations are basically infinite, but anyone that is invited is associated with the account of the person inviting them. If I invite someone, I will be responsible for them if they misbehave.

Trust is a two-way street. You will need to trust the person sending the invite with your email address. They will need to trust that you will be a contributing member of the community.

Edit: Who knew!? Account associations are public: https://lobste.rs/users

You can also join the irc chat room and participate/request an invitation: https://lobste.rs/chat

Good point. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this project before as I am a rails dev and it is an open sourced rails project.

I'm going to look into this some more.
