I just noticed when I go to hexbear communities on lemmy.sdf.org that most of the posts are missing. Is this some federation decision I missed or a technical issue?

    federation is weird. lemmy doesn’t sync all posts when you federate, it only fetches communities when someone specifically searches for them and even then it only grabs the last 20 posts when it does that. i think there are bots to automate syncing comms/maybe post backlogs too, some maybe even usable as an end user

      yeah definitely odd

      I tried to unsubscribe and re-subscribe thinking maybe that would ‘fix’ it, but now its stuck in a subscribe pending state which may be worse, I don’t know
