I have a channel with published posts that has no associated discussion group.
I now want to turn on commenting for posts in this channel, including those already published, but associating a channel with a discussion group only enables commenting for new posts.
I could republish the existing posts, but then I would lose the original metadata such as original publication date, and statistics like views, likes etc.
Is there a way to enable coming for the existing posts without republishing them or should I be making a Telegram feature request?
