When I subscribe to a community using an account I created in a new instance all federated communities look empties to me.

Is this some kind of limitation of ActivityPub? Is there a fix being thought about? Is there an provisional/temporary solution?

    using an account I created in a new instance

    If it is a new instance install, the data starts empty and only fills each community after the first person on that instance subscribes. There is currently no tool or protocol for backfilling older content.

      This is ok for communities about recent content (eg: news discussions) but kinda bad for other kind of communities.
