I believe some things are populated by your hostname in the lemmy configs so straight IP may break a few things.
I think it's just a general situation. A lot of the "big instances" are having a lot of issues right now with federating correctly. Comments, counts, votes are all off on most instances it seems.
There are a few github issues you can find/follow. It's supposed to be addressed a bit better int 0.18.1
I was, but with it being a mostly media heavy update, I wanted to put it off a bit. I'll look into it soon and maybe 0.19.5 as well. We may use image proxying in the future. This comment is mostly talking about new moderating tools. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
If the bigger instance has to push/pull in data from you personal communities because they sub to it, then yes. 1 person not using your front end isn’t going to change much.
0.18.1 exists
"Allowed Hosts" is white listing btw. You should leave it blank if you want more than just lemmy.world and lemmy.ml
And I wouldn't say it reduces the load on those sites. It would kind of add to them in a way if you post from your instance or sub from your instance solo. If it's just you on your instance, it's barely a blip. May save them some photo hosting if you post.
SOME of the out of sync upvotes/comments are fixed in 0.18.1
