They discuss under "invitation tree" how it's possible to get an invite if you want one. https://lobste.rs/about https://lobste.rs/about I don't have an account although a couple things I wrote got posted there, if I'd realized it at the time that apparently qualifies me. Overall I don't know if the quality is better than HN, even if the SNR is higher, there is just so much less total that the sum of good stuff is lower. It's almost completely free of politics, gossip, non-tech stuff though which is nice. For example I don't think any of the OpenAI drama was covered there. Otoh the links posted there are essentially a subset of what's posted on HN.
