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 you are the first user from your instance to subscribe to a community from another instance, then historical posts and comments will not be immediately synced. This is a limitation of the Lemmy software currently. However, if old posts start getting some new activity after you’ve subscribed (like a new comment or edit), then that will trigger a sync and the old posts should start showing up for you as well.
Yeah I have noticed on lemmy.studio, a newer server, some of the communities from either kbin or lemmy didn’t update, but then after some time, som of them diiid update, with I think all of the old posts, and even if those old posts didn’t have comments. So maybe that’s why it happened for me but some are still unupdated
