if the server has not synced it before then it starts at the time of the first sync. there is no concept of syncing archives in this protocol though the API does support it IIRC
Can you link to or describe the API support for this behavior?
this is the process i have observed with setting up my own instance along with helping a number of people with theirs having the same issue in the matrix channel.
the api has a call called get_posts you would need to call it on the instance the community is on. I don't think anyone has a proper archive sync tool and if one arrived i suspect some discussion around how it could hammer an instance.
