So.. I get this on some of my subscribed communities on other instances. I get some of the content, but nowhere near all. Is there a ranking which preferences synching of other instances communities? The more popular ones never seem to have this problem.. Or is there just 'lag' between instances and it's something that will have to be dealt with in the infancy of the fediverse?

It is not lag, it's more like your server simply doesn't know about the content yet because it didnt federate yet.

Say we make 2 servers, a.example and b.example and theres a community on a.example that is quire active.

now a user from b.example opens it, lettings its server know for the first time that the community even exists at all! b.example will not ask a.example for all the posrs on the community because, especially later, there'd simply be tol much, so your server only shows what it knows about.

we're not talking about "the first time" though. It'll be something like, I visit a magazine/community and there'll be some posts, but the most recent one will be 4 hours ago. I then look at the magazine/community on the original host and it's most recent stuff was 10 minutes ago, not 4 hours.

then only singular posts federated, for example because they were looked up explicitely or got boosted to this instance.

if someone from your instance subscribes to the community, then all posts from then on shoild be visible

This isn't happening though. I am subscribed to a few communities from lemmy.ml that definitely have posts, and there are other subscribers from kbin, but no posts show when viewing from kbin. It has been like that for a couple days. Check these out, for example:
