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?

    with posts and comments made before the instance was created.

    Lemmy only syncs content forward in time, there is no backfill.

    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

    These are all normal behaviors of Lemmy.

      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?
