Account looks diferent from diferent instances.
Hello, I am playing around with Pixelfed to get a better ubderstanding and one thing I have observed is the diference how accounts are presented depending on which server I am currently observing from. Example:
On my account on Pixelfed.social I see 9 posts on an account from Gram.social.
On my account on Gram.social i see over 60 posts on the same account on gram.social.
Any ideas wht the view is so different? The servers should federste but the way it is presented is so diferent on some accounts. Pictures to clarify.

An instance will only display the posts that it knows about, it won't backfill all of the posts from before someone first subscribed to it. However some instances have tools that let you do that on demand (I'm not familiar with them unfortunately).
You can manually federate over individual posts by pasting them in the search bar of the instance that is missing them.
