lobste.rs is lovely as a platform and as a community...but my appreciation for it is somewhat limited by my inability to get an account there. Edit: Thanks for the invitation! I retract the above.

I might attract a lot of flack here for saying this, but lobstr.es is a lot HN could have been, alas it is yet to get some serious amount of participation.

  Well, I think the whole self-selection on who can participate has a lot to do with that. I wonder if might've been enough to simply sell accounts/memberships at this point?

    Their being invitation only and their policy of holding users responsible for anyone they invite suggests they want as little participation there as necessary.

      Talking about closed community, has anyone tried quibb and has any impression to share?

        Well, for one I wouldn't want to authenticate via Twitter, especially when it's not a benign permission like "only basic profile information".

  How do you even get an account there? Is it really strictly invite-only or is there some sort of a waiting list? The topics on the front page seemed to interest me, I'd give it a try if there was a waiting list.

    Oh, never mind, there was a "public request" option in the login page
