How do I get added to the list of instances? (redlemmy.com)

What's the process? Is the list federated, meaning, does my joining this list populate available instances across the fediverse? Or is it isolated to join - Lemmy?

The act of making a first post or comment is all that's required for other instances to become aware of yours. Your site is already in their /instances page and at places like https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/redlemmy.com

From what I can tell re join-lemmy, the list there is just for that site, and it's fed by the lemmy-stats-crawler (you'll be able to see it in your nginx logs). There's a restriction of needing 5+ active users a month though, which it doesn't look like your site quite meets.
