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?

    I see, thank you for the insight. According to this comment, after an instance on 0.18.0 is running one can still set it to private with federation enabled, so it seems this check is only preventing the instance from starting in that state.

      Yes, that’s what this check (and the later introduced changes) are meant for. On the reasoning why this configuration is not desired I can’t comment.
