How are new Lemmy instances first integrated into the network? (lemmy.world)

I was told that I should post this here.

Say you decide to self-host a Lemmy instance. When you create that instance, do you immediately need to download and store all the data that has ever been posted to all federated Lemmy instances? Or perhaps you only need to download and store everything that is posted to the federated Lemmy instances from that point forward? Or better yet, do you only store what the users on that instance do (i.e. their posts, and posts to the communities hosted on that instance)?

That‘s so helpful, thank you for sharing it with us! One question: If I want to update my known communities in a month or so, can I just rerun the script or will that cause issues?

You should be able to rerun it anytime. It only gets stuff that doesn’t exist on your instance. That’s how it was designed. It is dependent on browse.feddit.de however. :(
