Just a quick update - when I created the new strapi project I disabled the draft/publish function when I created the content type, and this made all the items in the database appear as published. Thus this has so far worked as a workaround so that I not had to publish the drafts one by one.
I did not try @jpizzle34’s solution from above, so I cannot say if that works (but I saw a video tutorial with strapi suggesting a similar solution to his - using published_at; Schedule publication - YouTube) so I would believe that might be a solution as well.
