Subject: 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.
