Are you happy with your Mastodon server? Would you like to invite your Mastodon-curious friends to join you? Here's how to do it:
1. Log in on your server’s website or the web app
2. Click on 
Preferences
3. Click on "Invite people" at the left of the screen (if you’re on the mobile website click ☰ in the top right and then Invite people)
4. Choose the settings you want for your invitation link and then click Generate
Share the link with friends, community groups or whoever 
p.s. If your server doesn't have this link, it may be that your admin has switched it off. Ask them about it to check
If your admin is wondering where the setting is, it's here:
Preferences > Administration > Roles > Default Permissions, tick the box marked Invite Users, click Save Changes
@FediTips I'm very happy with my Mastodon server 
How about you?
I tried this on dice.camp and there isn't a link.
Try asking your admin about this, they may have the option switched off.
If your admin is wondering where the setting is, it's now at:
Preferences > Administration > Roles > Default Permissions, tick the box marked Invite Users, click Save Changes
@FediTips no link in the pixeldroid or pixelfed app for pixelfed.de
These instructions are for people on Mastodon servers. There isn't a similar feature on Pixelfed yet AFAIK.
@FediTips oddly on my server as an admin I can do this but my users can't see to? Is there some admin setting to let users generate these links?
Yeah, they've kind of buried it too far in the settings, I had to look it up on the Github! It used to be a lot more obvious.
The setting is now at:
Preferences > Administration > Roles > Default Permissions, tick the box marked Invite Users, click Save Changes
@FediTips wow! yes. very hidden indeed! thanks!
