How is Lobste.rs? Why did it break from HN? How does one even get in? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Personally, I think it's great. It's a smaller community than HN and the registration requirements, whilst not a perfect solution, do create a litmus test and ultimately creates an envrionment of mostly high quality posting.

To get in, you need to be invited in by an existing user. If you don't know anybody, you can hang around on their IRC channel and once you're familiar, somebody may be willing to invite you.
