But unlike the other two microblogging platforms, Bluesky is not yet open to all users. For now, the only way to join Bluesky is to get your hands on an invite code, which you can get by joining the waitlist or asking a friend who's already on Bluesky. This wikiHow article covers everything you need to know about Bluesky invite codes, from how to get invited to using your code to join Bluesky.

  1. Because Bluesky invite codes are so elusive, be careful when requesting an invite code on your social media feeds. Scammers may contact you offering to sell you invite codes, give you a free code in exchange for something else, or charge you for access to paid Discord servers that will supposedly get you an invite. Avoid paying for a Bluesky invite, as the codes usually won't be legitimate. Besides, Bluesky is free; you shouldn't have to pay to sign up.
