Correct. It does (sometimes) backfill a a page of old posts on first subscriber, but zero comments. There is no backfill procedure for new servers.
Right now Lemmy has pretty serious bugs, such as not sending comment deletes to all servers subscribed to a community. So things like backfill aren't getting as much attention because it's hard to even keep servers consistent with new content.
