Feed: your own posts are in Following. The follows feed read only the people you follow, so your own post was there just after you sent it (the optimistic row) and gone after a reload — Adam didn't see his latest. Like every other client, a follows feed now includes you. Someone who follows nobody still gets the "find people" invitation, with their own posts under it. feed-live-test's catch-up queue now goes only to an ask naming the post's author (the feed also asks for yours); tools/feed-repost-test.js checks your own post shows.
