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"?

Nothing you can do about it on your end. ActivityPub seems to require the larger instances to send outbound notifications, messages received more than 10 seconds old are tossed out, and it appears right now the larger instances can’t keep up with delivery in that time frame. Makes sense… lemmy.world instance has 3.6K users and 2200+ federated servers. If only 10% of the users upvote one post, that’s over 700K out going notifications already. I’d imagine a larger portion of the current users being more active considering large chunk of us are the more active Redditors seeking refuge…
