Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.
I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I’ve got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I’ve put “lemmy.world” and “lemmy.ml”
Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I’m having?

this is the correct answer, someone listed it as a feature request or bug on GitHub https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3448 but I’m not sure what the long term answer is.
I do agree though that is lends itself to encouraging people to larger instances which isn’t really the spirit of Lemmy.
Can you share that? Would love to use it for our instance. Previously was subbing to stuff manually to populate our small instance and it was a pain.
