I just set up my lemmy instance today (yay!). I am noticing that when I search for communities, the community is being fetched, but the posts, comments, votes, and pretty much all the other data is not always being fetched. Probably around 2/3rds of the time no data is fetched aside from the community itself. Sometimes one or two posts which may be years old, and maybe a couple of comments.

Is this a known issue or is this perhaps the product of a mechanic I am not understanding? From reading the documentation here, I was under the impression it should fetch 20 posts, and I would expect it to get the comments and votes for those posts as well.

Is there any known fix or workaround for this? Is there a way to trigger downloading the posts in a community manually or retry fetching the data?

    It’s weird because some old comments are being fetched. Usually with no votes, as far as I can tell, but I haven’t looked too closely.
