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
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.
