Thanks, does it usually miss votes and comments then?
It wasn't but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn't existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.
Give it a couple hours or even a day. Stay active in the communities you subscribe to. Eventually your server will get most posts and comments.
I remember there was a tool so you can download your lemmy subscriptions then upload it to your new Lemmy instance so in that way it will federate with those you are interested in. I don't exactly remember the name but if I find it will comment back here.
!selfhosted@lemmy.world on my instance:
and on sh.itjust.works:
The stickied posts get a bit weird and I've experienced them staying wrong until new ones are set. But this was last summer, unsure if it works better now or not.
The only thing I find concerning is the post "feedback on design and Firewall options" which you don't have and really should have unless there's something odd with that specific post. I have noted some issues with federating content from kbin/mastodon etc users but I saw that post on my self-hosted Lemmy instance...
The screenshot was taken less than 8 hours after the instance was up
Ah, I'd give it at least a day before I start digging too much into it.
I’ve been getting the same.
Some times it’s fine, other times it can take like 8 hours to “update”.
Someone told me a while ago to restart it every few days, it seems to help a bit.
Update: I think it works now!
