Help with federation on my new instance (apollo.town)

G'day, I just got Lemmy going on my site https://apollo.town and it doesn't appear to be federating. I ran through the Lemmy troubleshooting docs and I can return valid JSON from the site, but I can't look up anything on lemmy.ml from my site - although I can look up my site from lemmy.ml.

Caddy is my reverse proxy with the world's simplest config:

root@apollotown:~/lemmy# cat Caddyfile 
# apollo.town Lemmy instance
apollo.town {
	reverse_proxy :4040
}

During initial setup, did you specify to federate with yourself? Clicking the instances link at the bottom of your page, shows:

If you specify an instance to explicitly federate with, all other instances are disallowed.

When I go look in the admin settings, both Allowed and Disallowed boxes are blank, but it's possible I put my host in somewhere I wasn't supposed to in the configs. Let me double check that, where in the configs files would I be looking?

Sorry I have no idea. I've just never seen an instance "linked" to itself. Something is definitely wrong. Might be easier to blow away the database and start again.

I did enable and disable federation debug mode, would that have bunged something up?

I've never tried it, but I wouldn't think so. I'd expect it to be more verbose in logging.
