I recently spun up my own lemmy instance and was wondering if I had to manually add other lemmy instances to the ‘Allowed Instances’ admin field, or if they are added automatically when someone searches for a lemmy instance?
thank you! that’s exactly what I was looking for. Was originally testing and added lemmy.world as an allowed instance and was wondering why federation wasn’t working. TYSM!
Yup, I had the same question and was frustrated I was missing so many comments from instances that were federating. Just leave allowed blank and then block the bad ones unless your really concerned about bad instance actors.
