Joining with an invite link

Some instances only let people in who were invited by someone already there.

If you were sent an invite

Open the link you were given. It looks like /register?instance_invite= followed by a code. The sign-up form fills in the code and shows who invited you. Then create your account as usual.

If the form says the code doesn't work, the invite has expired, ran out of uses or was revoked. Ask the person who sent it for a new one.

Inviting your friends

1. Open User Settings.
2. Choose Invites, below Data & Privacy.
3. Create a link, pick how many people can use it and when it expires, and send it to your friends.

The page lists your links and everyone who joined through them. Revoking an unused link gives its uses back.

Server invites are different: they add someone who already has an account to one of your servers.
