I'm adapting a sql server/oracle solution to your world. Other column would be the ID of the table and then you could use that in a correlated subquery to get the rest of the columns. Let me know if it works for next time I use MySQL

select l.DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`timestamp`)), l.`otherColumn`, count(*) as num
from `posts` as l
left outer join fruits as r
    on l.DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`timestamp`)) = r.DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`timestamp`))        
       and l.`otherColumn` >= r.`otherColumn`
group by l.DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`timestamp`)), l.`otherColumn`
having count(*) <= 2
