Trying to better understand how federation works - from reddthat, I can’t see the pine tree and Siberian hogweed posts in the screenshot. Both those users are from instances that we’re federated with.

Is it time based? I only joined that community today, and those posts are from days ago.

Edit: some hours later, I can now see those posts posts from this instance 🥳

    Which community is this? Just so I can see myself and if there is anything wrong.

    When you federate with communities (for the first time) it only brings in the “new posts”, it doesn’t immediately bring in every old post.

    Most likely, it is because of that. I think eventually it will sync up, but federation prioritizes all content starting from the initial connection, rather than all previous content.
