Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.
For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist
for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:
- Let us know either on !lemmy_instances, or commenting here.
- We’ll add you to our allowlist.
- Add this block to your server’s
lemmy.hjson
config (for open federation):
federation: {
enabled: true
tls_enabled: true
# allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
- Type
!announcements@lemmy.ml
into your server’s search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.
Is there a way to publicly see what instances are blocked by the way? I actually wouldn’t like a feature like that because someone could use it to seek out toxic instances.
We don’t have blocked shown, just linked instances: https://lemmy.ml/instances
Good!
