From the article:
Mastodon is a great microblogging platform, but maybe you want to try something new. Firefish made a splash recently, and a lot of people are talking about it. If you’ve played with it for a while and want to officially take the plunge, here’s some tips on moving from your Mastodon Instance to a Firefish one.
It’s invite now? I’ll check. It was open registration, still calckey.social, when I signed up.
Yeah. It directed me to the other instances unless I had an invite code. As of now, the firefish.social site isn’t even loading in multiple browsers.
Yeah I haven’t been able to login yet, but I’m out and about with bad roaming coverage right now and thought it was on my end. Oh it looks like they were upgrading. I’m logged in now but don’t see anything anywhere about invite codes. I’ll try to watch for it.
Yeah… when I click the “Sign Up” button I get this:

“Signups on this server are currently disabled, but you can always sign up at another server! If you have an invitation code for this server, please enter it below.”

Ok, I found this post from an admin

So only admins can give them out it seems.
Got it. I signed up for another instance. It looks like a cool interface. I may migrate over from mastodon. Thanks for the heads-up!
