@Rentlar pretty much explained the issue.

Would suggest asking these questions in the dedicated community for selfhosters, who’d be able to point you to specific tools and things you can use to populate your instance with new data from across lemmy !selfhosted

Edit: fix community link

Rentlar ,

It appears you just moved to your personal instance. Unfortunately you can’t federate with past posts and comments until there is activity on them.

So subscribe to a bunch of communities here and there, then just wait a day and your feed should start filling up more.

I think there are bot tools that can help with that process.

DarkThoughts ,

Self hosting and then asking this on a tech community is kind of ironic.

Viking_Hippie ,

Hilarious, though 😆

I am not sure about this place though some tech communities I have lost interest in because they became less about cool tech and stuff and more about the companies themselves.

Rentlar ,

Check out some of the communities on slrpnk.net, there’s a focus on diy tech and stuff. the technology communities on lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and here have generally cast a wide net on topics.

Maybe a bunch of people are getting frustrated with social media and are starting to touch grass.
