Only one post on my home instance (infosec.pub)

I only see one post when I go through my Local instance, but I see a bunch of posts when I open the community in its Home instance. Does anyone know why? And how I can see the rest of the posts so I can interact?

Yeah I think there's definitely a strong argument for backfilling at least the few most recent posts (and their comments) on first subscribe, rather than leaving communities looking essentially empty for that unlucky first subscriber. But whether that would cause some technical problem I'm not smart enough to understand...who knows. Whatever works best for you in the meantime!

I think it can, essentially, flood the instance with comment data acting almost like a DDoS attack in a way. I know there's a way to make it so you can view the posts (without interacting) through an almost RSS style view, keeping the data on the community instance. I don't know if activitypub is compatible with this, though.
