You’re right about the cause: Lemmy’s front-end isn’t giving its backend enough time to do everything it needs to do for an unfamiliar commentary.
It works better if you copy / paste the link into Search. MBin effectively redirects all these links to its Search anyway, so maybe that’s an option.
It depends. It seems like Lemmy batches up its activity to send to remote instances - so, per instance, it sleeps for a bit, then sends what it has. If both a Create and an Update are in the same batch, Lemmy just sends the Update. If they don’t happen to be in the same batch though, it sends both activities.
