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?

Was asking that myself.
To make your instance fetch a community on a different instance, you have to put the community link (starts with exclamation mark, for example [!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone](/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone)) in the search on your own instance. Thought it currently does not return any results but if you then switch to Communitites tab and select All you should see it there.
