New server (new admin), couple of questions

Anything about running your own Lemmy instance. Including how to install it, maintain and customise it.
Be sure to check out the docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html
If you have any problems, describe them here and we will try to help you fixing them.
Your instance won’t start fetching any posts from a community, until someone from your instance subscribes to it. Then it will fetch the last 25 posts (I think) and then all future posts.
I don't think that's true. Searching for a community typically brings back a fully populated page. None of the posts have comments or up/down votes, but they're all there.
I'd say in maybe 20% of cases though it comes back empty.
Here is the official documentation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html#fetching-communities
The point is I'm not getting 20 posts. I get nothing. I can subscribe and then get posts from that point forward as I'd expect.
You can try and fetch an earlier post manually and see if that works.
Yeah, sadly not working on communities that exhibit this issue. This one (!lemmy_admin) is one. I have two posts showing on my instance, this one and another that seems to have been updated recently.
If I search for https://lemmy.ml/post/6417868 using my instances search I get no results found. The error in the logs is
but I don't know if that's helpful.
