How are we supposed to disable /setup after making an admin account on a newly created instance? (lemmy.world)

I made my admin account, but I can still accept /setup which looks like it will allow any random user to make an admin account as well.

How do I fix this?

Edit: It turns out that creating the admin account doesn't work, even though the page is still there.

Does it actually work?

Thanks. I just tried it out and it actually doesn't work. The page is still there which is annoying, but at least it can't be exploited to give random people admin accounts.
