When I subscribe to a community using an account I created in a new instance all federated communities look empties to me.
Is this some kind of limitation of ActivityPub? Is there a fix being thought about? Is there an provisional/temporary solution?
If it is a new instance install, the data starts empty and only fills each community after the first person on that instance subscribes. There is currently no tool or protocol for backfilling older content.
This is ok for communities about recent content (eg: news discussions) but kinda bad for other kind of communities.
At this point, Lemmy isn’t even keeping up with the load of sharing comments, posts, likes. There is significant missing data on remote server content not getting copied over to the other servers. Growing pains.
Oh I see, I think we have to be comprehensible the devs might be working really hard right now to fix issues that might have only come to be perceived as Lemmy grew so fast in the last week.
