I subscribed to communities, but my Lemmy instance receives only a few posts, comments and votes. I can see linked instances, but whether or not they sync data feels hit or miss. I’m not quite sure if this is expected. Does Lemmy have a utility similar to the Matrix federation tester?
That’s a bug… You’re likely subscribed. Toggling the subscription has worked for me in the past. I don’t really run into it at this point anymore.
