I have gone ahead and added

federation: {
    # whether to enable activitypub federation. 
    enabled: true
    tls_enabled: true
    # Allows and blocks are described here:
}

to my site configuration file, however I am not able to view any of the other instances.

Many thanks

    In your lemmy.hjson file, you’ll need to add instances to your allow list by domain name:

    # list of instances with which federation is allowed
# allowed_instances: ["instance1.tld","instance2.tld"]
# instances which we never federate anything with (but previously federated objects are unaffected)
# blocked_instances: []

    If you want, tell me your instance and I’ll add you to my allow list (midwest.social)
