Lemmy Instance Not Syncing Correctly (self.lemmy_support)

I'm trying to set up a personal Lemmy instance, and I've got it running but it doesn't seem to sync very well with posts and comments made before the instance was created. I ran [lemmony] (https://github.com/jheidecker/lemmony) to get the /all to work correctly and to start syncing communities, but now when I go to some communities and I look at the posts created before I subscribed to the community, they either don't show up or don't have the correct number of upvotes/comments. Also, when I search for communities, next to the community name is only the number of users from my instance subscribed, not the actual number of subscribers to the community. Is there a way to fix this?

That does make sense, I'll probably go through and do that. I just wish there was a better way of sorting by all and historical syncs

Yeah, it's confusing if you're not real steeped in how ActivityPub works... and admittedly not real intuitive.

If you choose to wipe the existing subs you made with the tool, you might want to delete the user you used to subscribe with them. I don't think wiping your db or server will tell the remote servers to unsub you. But I think deleting the user will clear all their subscriptions (not 100% sure though).

The normal way to do this would be to unsub every community, but I don't think this tool handles rolling back like that.
