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?

Yes, your instance will only ‘know’ about communities that you have searched for from your instance. Once you search for some, they will appear under “All” communities. However your instance will only receive updates for those communities if at least 1 person on your instance has subscribed to them.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
