Managed to set up an instance using Lemmy-Easy-Deploy but federation is being a bit weird (sh.itjust.works)

Is it always weird on new instances, I'm seeing posts from a random amount of days ago, no votes and no comments. Also, is it possible to federate with communities automatically or do I have to search for them all one at a time to add them to my instance?

I remember there was a tool so you can download your lemmy subscriptions then upload it to your new Lemmy instance so in that way it will federate with those you are interested in. I don't exactly remember the name but if I find it will comment back here.
