Managed to set up an instance using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy but federation is being a bit weird

You need to search them to make them available to your instance. You can also use lemmony or lemmy community seeder to automate it if you care enough.

Thanks, does it usually miss votes and comments then?

It wasn’t but now it does I guess. I just searched a community didn’t existed locally on my instance and I got same result as you. No votes, no comments. I think this is enough to open an issue in the Lemmy repo.

I’ve been getting the same.

Some times it’s fine, other times it can take like 8 hours to “update”.

Someone told me a while ago to restart it every few days, it seems to help a bit.

I remember there was a tool so you can download your lemmy subscriptions then upload it to your new Lemmy instance so in that way it will federate with those you are interested in. I don’t exactly remember the name but if I find it will comment back here.
