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? (kbin.social)

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.

Interesting, it seems to work the same way between Lemmy instances. It would be nice if I could force a more thorough federation, but it's good to see most content will eventually come through on its own time.
