    That’s because someone else on your instance had subscribed to before you did. Content starts federating from the moment the first person subscribes to a remote instance

      I agree that federating only starts when the subscription first happens but you still get older posts.

        Ah, yeah, I know what you mean now. I do remember the devs saying that the first time a remote group profile is pulled, that the API returns the last 20 posts or something. It’s a different mechanism to subscription, but it makes sense, because subscription requires the group profile to be pulled first

      Alas, I’m the only user on my instance. I’m self-hosted.
