E.g. if you scroll up to older messages, it might take a a few seconds but your client should eventually show them.
Matrix server use a back-off for servers sending messages, so if your server is offline for many hours, it might take a day for your servers to get messages pushed to by other servers again.
Great to see people switching to actually secure alternatives.
