By leaving the federation box unchecked and having the private box checked off, will the instance not be visible to the public unless your logged in?
Federation unchecked and private unchecked. An instance that is publicly accessible, but doesn’t talk to other instances Federation checked and private unchecked. An instance that is publicly accessible, and does federate with others. (Most of the big instances are this) Federation unchecked and private checked. An instance that is private and requires logins to access the communities and other parts, but doesn’t federate.
Federation checked and private checked… Used to work. communities hosted on the server would require a local account and would still federate out. This was outright blocked from 0.17.4 I believer…
The last case is perfect for me. I want to setup communities for my friends around particular topics on my instance, and still use my instance across the rest of the fediverse.
