I'm currently, still setting up the instance and only half know what I'm doing. Federation for some reason doesn't seem to be work 🤔. From what I understand Lemmy should federate to the world automatically, but I've also been reading that you get "auto-blocked" if you don't have certain instances blocked yourself. I'll have to investigate. I wouldn't want people to be forced to join this instance in order to participate.

EDIT: It seems to be fixed now
