I just set up my instance and noticed that posts on my Instance dont have the same upvote and comment counts? What couses this and how can I solve it?
Example: https://lemmy.ohaa.xyz/post/151 - 26 Upvotes and 12 Comments
https://lemmy.ml/post/3331957 - 611 Upvotes and 54 Comments

I just set up

just... it does not backfill previous content and votes. What time window are you talking about here?

The whole design is not what I would describe as robust and chock full of features. A lot of people have pushed federation as the key to scalability (now with over 1500 lemmy instances online ) when it is one of the least-mature parts of the code and carries a lot of overhead. Having 500 servers all subscribing to the same communities on lemmy.world for a dozen readers is causing problems with outbound distribution.
