I feel like it would be nice to pull at least some content when the first person opens the box lol. Maybe the last 10-100 posts, or from the past 30-90 days, or whatever.
Maybe do this kind of smaller sync every time another user subscribes to it until it’s fully synced up, 'cause that means we all really want the content lol.
Kbin could do that independently right? Or would ActivityPub need to change to allow that?
I’m pretty sure it’s currently baked into the protocol. But instances themselves could probably add crawlers to fetch a few recent posts. You might want to ask @kbinMeta about that.
I kinda get it for microblogging platforms, the content is probably changing too quickly for that. Do any Lemmy/kbin instances have similar rules? Fetching something like top-10 posts of the week doesn’t really add any serious traffic.
But an api call made specifically for that is definitely a better option. I wonder if it’s being discussed between the devs.

I think there are policies from some instances on Mastodon around crawling so it would have to be done carefully and preserve server sovereignty.
