I’m trying to set up a personal Lemmy instance, and I’ve got it running but it doesn’t seem to sync very well with posts and comments made before the instance was created. I ran [lemmony] (https://github.com/jheidecker/lemmony) to get the /all to work correctly and to start syncing communities, but now when I go to some communities and I look at the posts created before I subscribed to the community, they either don’t show up or don’t have the correct number of upvotes/comments. Also, when I search for communities, next to the community name is only the number of users from my instance subscribed, not the actual number of subscribers to the community. Is there a way to fix this?
But, theoretically, from now on posts should sync like normal and have the correct amount of comments/upvotes, correct? Also, is there a way to change the community member behavior or no?
There isn’t a lot of documentation, I’ve learned what I can by running an instance for 30 days. I suggest study of a medium-size instance that started a month ago as reference: https://lemm.ee/u/sunaurus admin account is 1 month old, and it should give you an idea of what 1 month of data looks like vs. the more established servers like lemmy.ml that have been online for over 4 years.
