I seriously thought I'm alone with this issue, but it seems it's fairly common for people hosting on their own. Same as you guys, it won't sync everything, some communities are even "stuck" with posts from a day back, even though there were many new ones posted.

Kind of off topic question, but I guess it's related? Is there anyone that can't pull a certain community from an instance? I seem to can't pull [email protected] or anything from that community, that includes posts and comments. No matter how many times I try, it won't populate on my instance.

TBH federation from large instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml seems kind of sluggish. Posts, comments and upvote counts are way off on my private instance, as well as many lemmy.ml subscriptions hanging "Pending" forever. No such issues from smaller instances. I've seen lemmy.world set its federation worker count to something crazy like 10000, so I don't know what else they could possibly do to improve things, or what I could do for that matter.

Thank you. I took your theme and "nordified" it a bit:

Now it's in line with the rest of my web apps :)
