How do I change domain names? (reddthat.com)

I just bought a new domain and would like to point it at my Lemmy instance.

There's nothing in the admin panel that allows me to do that. The docs describe running a script against the database, is that the accepted way to change domains?

My instances brand new, I don't know if I'm federated yet or not. Only a couple days old.

Can I change the config file, and rebuild the site or something?

I'm not sure how to proceed

oh, that changes everything!

personallly, id fix dns to your host and remove/install the server application. if its brand new, theres no reason you cant quickly just start over.
