When a new node joins, the cache is not copied (Replicated)

Hello, I am new to Nebulex and I'm testing the Replicated adapter, but I notice that when a new node joins, it does not copy the cache from the other node. In production, DNSCluster is used to connect the nodes dynamically, but in local tests, I'm simply using Node.connect/1.

This is my setup:

defmodule Core.ReplicatedCache do
  use Nebulex.Cache,
    otp_app: :core,
    adapter: Nebulex.Adapters.Replicated
end

config :core, Core.ReplicatedCache,
  primary: [
    gc_interval: :timer.hours(12),
    gc_memory_check_interval: :timer.seconds(10),
    max_size: 1_000_000,
    allocated_memory: 2_000_000_000
  ]

def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      Core.Repo,
      {DNSCluster, query: Application.get_env(:core, :dns_cluster_query) || :ignore},
      {Phoenix.PubSub, name: Core.PubSub},
      {Core.ReplicatedCache, []},
      Core.Telemetry,
      Core.Endpoint
    ]
    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: Core.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end

I'm starting one local node and creating a new cache record:

iex --name node1@127.0.0.1 --cookie mycookie -S mix

Core.ReplicatedCache.put("key", "value2")
:ok

Then I join a second node, where it can't access the already created key:

iex --name node2@127.0.0.1 --cookie mycookie -S mix

Node.connect(:"node1@127.0.0.1")
true

# key not found, so no cache copy?
Core.ReplicatedCache.get("key")
nil

But new writes works fine between the two:

# put newkey from any node
Core.ReplicatedCache.put("newkey", "value2")
:ok

# get works on both nodes:
Core.ReplicatedCache.get("newkey")
"value2"

So, my conclusion is that when a new node joins, it is not copying the cache. Am I overlooking something, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
