We talked about this a few times but couldn't find an issue reported.

Related to #101

When you look for an Actor profile on Mastodon, and the Actor doesn't have any previous followers from your instance, Mastodon will fetch the Actor to show a profile, but won't fetch activities. So it shows an empty profile with a tiny message saying you need to go visit the remote profile if you want to read previous activities.

This has been surprising to people testing Sutty + Social Inbox.

But if the Social Inbox resends some activities when a new instance is detected, we can prevent confusing all users from that instance. Only the first one :P

@RangerMauve mentioned they're tracking an issue on Mastodon that could solve this entirely, could you link it here?

New instance detection means first follower from an unknown instance.

We need to test if Mastodon will take old activities first
