    Not that I’m aware of. Hopefully we get these tools with time. But as I understand it federation is basically a push action, the community host instance sends the updates out to all the instances with users subscribed. The instances don’t send a request asking for updates as far as I know.

      Ah dam. So basically, we are missing all content from before a user subscribes to a community on a different instance?

        Something like that. I have heard basically that but if you go look at a new community that no one has subscribed to then it still shows you posts so there must be more to it.

            Yeah it’s not very clear what’s happening, and when people try to explain it I don’t think it lines up with what we see. These things will get easier over time as new features are added.
