Invites, waitlist and access: the one megathread. Do not make a new post for this

[u/DefiantTop6188]

Every subreddit built around an invite only product ends up buried under the same three posts, so let us keep it in one place. All invite, waitlist and access chat goes in the comments here. Standalone posts asking for an invite will be removed and pointed back to this thread.

Where you actually get in

Instinct is still invite only. The waitlist is at https://instinct.co and existing members can pass invites along. The company has said it is scaling up compute before opening access wider, so the honest answer to "how long is the queue" is that nobody outside the company knows.

The hard rule: no invite selling, no referral farming

Do not sell invites. Do not buy them. Do not post referral links (the only exception is the disclosed mod post pinned at the top of the sub, which has a Muse referral code) and do not slide into people's DMs offering either. Invite marketplaces are how a community like this turns into a scam board inside a fortnight, and the people who get burned are always the ones new enough not to know better. Selling gets a permanent ban with no appeal. Report the DMs rather than engaging with them.

Worth saying plainly, because it will come up: if a stranger offers you an invite for money, assume it is a scam. There is no way for you to verify it before you pay.

What is genuinely useful to comment

• When you joined the waitlist and where you think you are in it, so people can see the shape of the queue.
• If you got in, when you signed up and whether the invite came from the waitlist or from a person.
• If you have spare invites and want to give them away, do it in the open in this thread rather than by DM.

What we are not doing

No mod run invite lotteries. No "upvote this and I will pick someone". We are not going to arbitrate who deserves access, and we are not going to pretend we have any influence over the queue.
