I tried this on dice.camp and there isn't a link.

@FediTips there is no such link:

@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.

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

Some admins have this switched off for their server. You could ask your admin about it?

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

@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.
