Is the Hexbear Announcements Community Not Federated? (lemmygrad.ml)

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

When I try to browse it from lemmygrad, the newest post is a 10 month old post. But when I view on hexbear, it has recent posts. Is this a bug or intentional?

EDIT: If this is the wrong place to ask, could someone please direct me to the appropriate place?

My impression is that, once you federate you start receiving new posts from the instance. You don't receive a historical record of their posts.

I had an argument with a liberal in an old thread who I thought was feigning ignorance by ignoring all the information in there. Unfortunately, all they could see were the new comments that were added!

I'd be willing to bet that the old post you're seeing has been commented on or interacted with in some way post-federation, and that's why it's showing.

But that's the opposite of the problem here. If you click the link in the post, it should show what we see. New content is not populated. Only the very old is. I thought that searching and/or subscribing was all it took to get it to federate. But it just seems stuck.

Ah, sorry to clutter the conversation! I'm not sure what'd do it then.
