Hi!
I setup a personal lemmy instance al lemmy.lohn.in, with the last RC (I like to live in danger).
Probably it will be only me here (pretty cold and dark). Anyway I wish to be allowed or linked in lemmy.ml list.
I don’t understand the difference between linked and allowed instances in https://lemmy.ml/instances
If you want to federate with my instance (midwest.social) feel free to add it to your allow list.
I disabled the allow list. For now there is no reason to block any instance.
And, of course, I already subscribed to your cats community!
Alright!
Maybe linked means federated? https://lemmymap.feddit.de/
This graph is awesome! But about federation, what “allowed” means then?
What do the different colors on the lines and nodes mean?
I guess green means federated and red blocked. I don’t know where the graph comes from, I just saw the link last day.
We’re getting ready to do a release on friday, we can either add you then, or we might move to open federation for this instance.
That’s good news! Thanks for the answer.
This seems to be poorly, if at all, documented, but I guess that allowed instances are instance that are explicitly added to an allow list, and linked instances include that plus other federated instances.
That makes sense. I made a test with my instance and can confirm this. “Allowed” are the instances in the allow list in configuration. “Linked” are the instances that it changed information (maybe blocked if not in the allow list) In the pic below sopuli.xyz isn’t allowed, but my instance already change info with it.
