I think it may be helpful to include the specific file(s) those options need to be added and to clarify whether they need to be added to the
server host or the clients.

Perhaps like so:

hashes may be re-enabled on the server by adding the following config
   options to the end of /etc/ssh/sshd_confg:

+Title: OpenSSH RSA SHA-1 signatures
+Author: Mike Gilbert <flop...@gentoo.org>
+Posted: 2021-10-08
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 2.0
+Display-If-Installed: net-misc/openssh
+
+As of version 8.8, OpenSSH disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 +hash algorithm by default. This change affects both the client and
+server components.
+
+After upgrading to this version, you may have trouble connecting to +older SSH servers that do not support the newer RSA/SHA-256/SHA-512 +signatures. Support for these signatures was added in OpenSSH 7.2.
+
+As well, you may have trouble using older SSH clients to connect to a
+server running OpenSSH 8.8 or higher. Some older clients do not
+automatically utilize the newer hashes. For example, PuTTY before
+version 0.75 is affected.
+
+To resolve these problems, please upgrade your SSH client/server +whereever possible. If this is not feasible, support for the SHA-1
+hashes may be re-enabled using the following config options:
+
+HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
+PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
