Is there a way to sync/federate posts that have been made on other instances (like lemmy.world) before the community was discovered on Kbin?

So, to explain in more detail: I read about a new community on newcommunities and I decided to search for it so that it started federating with Kbin.

However, when I visit the community on lemmy.world, there are already 32 posts from before the community became visible on kbin, but I can only see the posts that were made after I “discovered” the community on Kbin.

Correct. If someone on that instance, or who is federated with the content on that instance, can do it. If you use a lemmy.world account and upvote all the posts they should federate to your instance.

I just tested it with my account on lemmy.world, and the posts do indeed show up on Kbin now.
That’s really good to know. Thank you so much for the explanation!
