Adding allowed instances (lemmy.world)

I recently spun up my own lemmy instance and was wondering if I had to manually add other lemmy instances to the 'Allowed Instances' admin field, or if they are added automatically when someone searches for a lemmy instance?

Not to hijack the conversation, but once a server is open and set up what are the best ways to attract people to it? Just start telling people about it?

Interact with other communities on other servers. Your Instances will start to populate that way.

That makes sense, but I can't even get my search function to return anything at the moment, even if I copy+paste direct links. Is there another way I can access other servers from my own instance?
