When connecting to the stream, the stream should start by returning only new Reddit data since the connection was made. By passing a comment_backfill and submission_backfill parameter, a client can request the previous X objects for either comments or submissions.
For example, submission_backfill=10000 would start the stream with current comments while returning submissions made 10,000 submissions ago until both were in sync with current data.
