are you subscribed to any lemmy.world communities? you only get updates if you subscribe
i'd also recommend running lcs to pre-seed your instance, it's a bit of a space hog but it makes things much easier to use

Great idea, I’ll add this myself today. Thanks!
lemmy.world is probably overloaded.
On my instance, everything from them floods through all at once, filling my first couple of pages with hours or even days worth of stuff, then I'll get nothing from them for a while again.
"Initial sync" isn't a thing. Things only federate from communities after you subscribe to it. Old posts will make their way over if someone interacts with it (comments/votes on it). I think old comments may make their way over under the same conditions. Old votes will not make their way over so your vote count on old posts will never be right.
You can search for a post or comment to force your instance to load it (copy the federation link, the rainbow-web-looking icon) just like you would do for communities. I think there are scripts out there that may automate this process to force your instance to load old content, but you're putting more load on an already strained system.
And yes, lemmy.world is probably overloaded. Usually this just means that federation from it isn't instant and may take a little time.
What is the instance? I can check the logs.
sideone.co.uk - thanks!
Didn't have time yet to check, still not federating?
Hey,
thanks for everything you do. Here's what I see this morning. I'm not sure if its totally a lemmy issue, as my instance server needs to be restarted most days at the moment, so may be causing the issues.
This is what I see this morning on the [email protected] home page
