Keeping a private instance more closely in sync with remote communities (nc.gnzl.cl)

I started a private instance today, and maybe I'm being impatient but I'd like to know if there's something I can do on my end to keep my instance more closely in sync with the remote communities I've subscribed to. I don't seem to be missing any new posts, but there are so many missing comments which makes the sort options (Active, Hot) bring up posts that sometimes are weeks old. Are there any configuration options or tuning options that could help my instance "keep up"?

The first posts you get from before when you started your instance are going to be empty.
The next ones you get from the communities you subscribe to are going to be normal.

But I've found lemmy.ml also has issues keeping me up to date with new stuff, other instances work fine for the most part, but this one I've seen a post with 0 comments in my instance and the original already had had a whole conversation.

I see. I've a had a similar experience with some posts from beehaw.org and lemmy.world, but of course those are huge instances already and growing quickly.
