This is ultimately why I decided to roll my own instance. I'm keeping my backup here though in case I mess something up, but full control is nice to have.
Self-Host Gang. Instances with whitelist mode suck tho.
What is that? Please let me know before I dive in head first on the self hosted wave
Whitelist mode? Instances that only federate with certain instances, and nobody else. Blacklist mode is the opposite: Instances that federate with everyone except certain instances.
Yeah that got me pretty hard, I thought whitelist was just adding instances, but alas it banned any other instance. Weird choice IMO.
Worked around it (I think) by making a user and have that user sub to communities, but being able to include a whole instance would have been great.
