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.
current blocked from lemmy.ml:
