Subscribing to Communities on other servers... (aussie.zone)

Noob here. Sorry in advance :/

Via lemmy community browser I managed to work out I want to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/nba. And I think I did that correctly. It was added to my profile.

When I follow that subscription in my profile, it takes me to https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected]

This shows me some of the topics, but all the threads show 0 comments, vs the 100s of comments in https://lemmy.world/c/nba

I assumed federation meant that I could could subscribe, view discussions, and comment on aussie.zone server to another server's communites.

How would I see all the topics, comments and be able to comment on the NBA community above?

This is one of the major use experience issues in lemmy. Currently comments are only synced to federated instances from the time someone subscribed. Comments before this point are not synced.

I'm hoping at some point the Devs will add a feature allowing users to "pull" old comments from the home instance on demand. I don't know think it is a priority, if it's even on their to-do list.
