Thats not really how it works. Lemmy works on a Push model. When a post is created and the instance knows you are interested in the post by a user subscribing to it, the Lemmy instance will send the post to your server. But if your sever does not respond then the other instance will mark your server as dead and stop trying to send you posts.
When you turn on your instance you aren’t going to get a flood of posts that you have missed over the past few days/hours.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
not really i will just leave it on the days that i need
