If one hosts a Lemmy instance, do they need to also host, and/or link to the source code even if they have made no changes to it? (lemm.ee)

Lemmy is licensed under the AGPLv3. I don't want to rely solely on my own legal interpretation of the license, so I'm wondering if anyone has any explicit knowledge on the matter.

As an aside, am I correct in assuming that, if someone does make changes to the source code, they must host, and link to it?

EDIT (2023-09-27T22:22Z): I am just now seeing that at the bottom of a Lemmy instance's site, there is a link that says "Code". It appears that this is handled automatically.

If you have made no changes to it, then you can just use the docker image. You don't even need to download the source code.
