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?
I believe the author of Lemmony has already patched the code to only subscribe to the top instances, which shouldn’t leave anyone with 7k subscriptions.
They offered an option to limit the sub count, but the default is still unlimited. They seem aggressively against more sensible defaults in other posts.
