You can disable registration so nobody can make an account.
If you don’t want anyone browsing your server, you could also whitelist your home IP and block access to the rest of the Lemmy API (that doesn’t involve federation).
Hey, I see you have experience with Lemmy and I don’t see any place to ask this type of questions.
I was checking a community in an instance and realized that there were no federated posts. Are federated posts only visible from the ALL view? I was hoping for community browsing to also have a federated experience to enhance content. For example, if I want to browse the Gaming community of an instance, why shouldn’t I see gaming communities from other instances?
I understand this type of federation would require more interaction than instance to instance federation, but still, would be amazing to see more content when checking communities.
Not idea, try asking in the “self hosting” community. The instance im in was created by the mods of the r/brasil subreddit and its works great (for me) because is not as popular as the bigger ones and is hosted locally in Brazil.
Is their a way to lock it down so only you can use it? I was thinking about hosting my own. But i was worried that others might start visiting it.

Isn’t federation a two way contract? Or is it enabled by default on instances and only blacklisted?
