Is it always weird on new instances, I’m seeing posts from a random amount of days ago, no votes and no comments. Also, is it possible to federate with communities automatically or do I have to search for them all one at a time to add them to my instance?
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.
You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.
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.
