Forcibly getting messages from REST

Hello, I'm running a bot with the default entity supplying strategy (cacheWithRestFallback), but I want to fetch all messages from a channel from REST, to make sure I get everything and not just the ones sent in the bot's current lifetime. Here's what I'm thinking of doing:

EntitySupplyStrategy.rest.supply(kord).getMessagesAfter(Snowflake.min, id)
    .collectIndexed { ... }

EntitySupplyStrategy.rest.supply(kord).getMessagesAfter(Snowflake.min, id)
    .collectIndexed { ... }

Is there a better or more recommended way to do this? Thanks!

in this case, I don't want to cache the results just want to get the messages and be sure I'm getting the whole deal

kord.with(EntitySupplyStrategy.rest).getMessagesAfter(...)?

you can do this:

channel.withStrategy(EntitySupplyStrategy.rest).getMessagesAfter(id)

channel.withStrategy(EntitySupplyStrategy.rest).getMessagesAfter(id)
