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.
Yes- if anyone interacts with those posts after the community has been federated then the entire post gets sent over. eg: someone "likes" a comment or posts a new comment.
I see. I assume you mean the interaction has to happen on the remote side then, since we can't see the posts 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.
yes this happens, but it resolves itself over time, and the posts will show up within a few hours or days. this happened to me on a few of my mags i federated between kbin/lemmy, eventually all the posts showed up 👍🏼
