Does anyone know any sort of solution to this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3568

I accidentally formatted the data directory containing all of the data for my Lemmy instance, and now when I try to remake the instance it works fine till I connect the domain to the server, where it proceeds to stop working. Looking at the logs I think it might be because all of the instances are trying to send their posts to a user which doesn't exist anymore, is there a way to fix this?

I'm trying to set up a personal Lemmy instance, and I've got it running but it doesn't seem to sync very well with posts and comments made before the instance was created. I ran [lemmony] (https://github.com/jheidecker/lemmony) to get the /all to work correctly and to start syncing communities, but now when I go to some communities and I look at the posts created before I subscribed to the community, they either don't show up or don't have the correct number of upvotes/comments. Also, when I search for communities, next to the community name is only the number of users from my instance subscribed, not the actual number of subscribers to the community. Is there a way to fix this?
