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?

    Not to hijack the conversation, but once a server is open and set up what are the best ways to attract people to it? Just start telling people about it?

        That makes sense, but I can’t even get my search function to return anything at the moment, even if I copy+paste direct links. Is there another way I can access other servers from my own instance?
