What's this mean?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago (2 children)

Lemmy has 3 types of federation.

Type | Defn

|

Open | Allow anyone on any instance to subscribe and interact with your communities. Blocklist | Allow any instance, except those on the blocklist. Allowlist | Allow only those instances on the allowlist.

how can I open my server?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Just remove or comment the allowed line in your lemmy.hjson.

will i start seeing content from other instances on the main feed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

You already can, click the All button.

Is there some way to see a list of instances that are currently being federated with?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

It's in the site footer.

This is great! It comes just in the right time for me, since I'm gonna publish an open instance soon :D

Sweet!

There aren't that many lemmy instances yet, so expect that this will work just fine for now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Great, lets hope this experiment will work out fine :)

We can always add any malicious instance to our blocklist.

That's odd, I did subscribe from my instance but I could not see new posts on the subscribed community and I posted message that did not appear here as well.

I'm on an older version (11.3), maybe that's it? I'll try to upgrade but I'm using a packaged version for yunohost and they did not packaged the last version yet.

Since I host a lot of services I tend to avoid manual installs, I would not have time to manage everything...
