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?

ChrisFhey@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 0 points –

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.

No.

Darn, that's a bummer. :(

Edit: It turns out that, as per czech's answer you can let the posts federate by interacting with them on the remote.
