Why do you see only a few dozen posts in a new feed?

When you add a new source to your Juicer feed, only a recent batch of posts comes in at first. Here's why, and how to backfill older content via a paid historical import on account sources.

When you add a new source to your Juicer feed, only a recent batch of posts comes in at first—not your full posting history. Here's why, and how older content can be brought in when you need it.

How Juicer fetches posts on first sync

Juicer imports posts in batches from the social networks. On the very first sync we bring in the most recent posts the network's API exposes; how many varies by network:

  • Around 50 for X (Twitter) and Facebook account sources

  • Around 25 for Instagram account sources

  • 10 for LinkedIn pages (a hard cap from LinkedIn's side)

After that, every new post you publish comes in automatically at your plan's sync frequency. Over time, your feed grows.

Importing older posts: Pro annual and Enterprise perk

For account sources—your own Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or X (Twitter) profile—Juicer offers a complimentary historical-post import as part of these plans:

  • Pro plan with annual billing

  • Enterprise plan (monthly or annual)

If you're on one of those plans, you can request your import—just contact us with your feed name or slug, the source URL, and roughly how far back you'd like us to go. This is also how to recover history after you've renamed an Instagram handle (or otherwise changed a source's identifier) and re-added the source.

If you're on a different plan and want this perk, consider upgrading—see the pricing page to compare.

How far back we can actually pull varies by network—some platforms expose more history than others.

Hashtag and mention sources can't be backfilled

Historical imports are not available for hashtag or mention sources—they're bound by each network's recent-posts API window. Common limits:

  • Instagram hashtags: posts from roughly the last 24 hours only

  • X (Twitter) hashtags and mentions: posts from roughly the last 7 days only

These are upstream API restrictions, not Juicer limits—we can only show what the networks let us fetch. See Mentions sources — Adding and troubleshooting for the full list of mention-source limitations across platforms.
