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.

AGPL has a clause that basically says "network access counts as distribution". If you make modifications to a AGPL code which users can connect to, users should be able to have access to the source code with your changes.
