Federation not working properly? (lemmy.haigner.me)

I subscribed to communities, but my Lemmy instance receives only a few posts, comments and votes. I can see linked instances, but whether or not they sync data feels hit or miss. I'm not quite sure if this is expected. Does Lemmy have a utility similar to the Matrix federation tester?

Well it's possible that an instance blocks other instances. This also includes things like firewalls and proxy services. I for instance block all Russian and Chinese ip addresses outright. I want nothing to do with either of those countries from a web perspective. It's possible that on their instance they're blocking my instance, or IP so it's not quite populating properly. There's a lot that can go wrong... Doesn't help that lemmy.ml is getting HAMMERED recently.
