Can't enable federation and 'private instance' at the same time on 0.18.0 (nc.gnzl.cl)

I just upgraded my instance to 0.18.0 using Ansible and I had to disable the option 'Private instance' directly on the database to get the lemmy docker up and running. I assume this is an intentional change, but should it really stop Lemmy from even running?

Thankfully the error was very explicit:

lemmy_1 | Error: LemmyError { message: Some("Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled."), inner: Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled., context: SpanTrace [] }

ncgnzlcl_lemmy_1 exited with code 1

With both options enabled, my instance operated as expected on 0.17.4: there was no anonymous access to anything, but once logged in you could subscribe to communities from any public instances. They don't seem incompatible at all, and my posts and comments were federated correctly outside of my instance.
