Using Off the Clock

Getting started

Off the Clock is members-only. Here's the path from "someone invited me" to your first post.

Get an invitation

Draft outline
  • A member asks a community admin to add you; the site's sign-in page names whom to ask (today: message @ngerakines.me).
  • The admin needs your handle (for example @you.bsky.social) or your own domain handle.
  • Nothing is sent to you: the invitation is a record the admin writes. You find out from the person who invited you.

Sign in

Short version of Signing in: enter your handle, approve on your own account's sign-in page, come back.
