Self-hosted lemmy not receiving all posts or upvotes (self.selfhosted)

Hi all, I tried hosting my own lemmy instance to take some of the load off lemmy.world, but a lot of the posts do not get synchronised to my instance. When they do, they never got more than a couple upvotes.

I get a lot of warnings in the logs that I've got an incoming connection not on my allowed hosts, of which I've put "lemmy.world" and "lemmy.ml"

Does self hosting like this actually reduce the load on lemmy.world and the fediverse? And how can I fix the issue I'm having?

Anyway, based on how federation works, you are actually adding load to lemmy.world and other instances with your own instance. This is counterintuitive and it is because federation doesn't work well as for due to scale problems.
