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.

    Good, congrats! I can see that the development instance (dev.lemmy.ml) is also redirecting to lemmy.ml from today onwards. I was using this development instance until now.

    edit

    There seems to be a small bug on this new instance though. The theme change from settings isn’t effected once you refresh and move to a different page, it reverts back to the default theme.

      Hrm… did you click the save button after changing theme?
