Return a list of posts when creating a post

Requirements

• Is this a feature request? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support
• Did you check to see if this issue already exists?
• Is this only a feature request? Do not put multiple feature requests in one issue.
• Is this a backend issue? Use the lemmy-ui repo for UI / frontend issues.
• Do you agree to follow the rules in our Code of Conduct?

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, after creating a post, only the created post is shown. Showing a list of the community's newest posts instead, with the new post at the top, would lead to a higher and more consistent amount of people who see new posts.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Add a variant of the post creation API that returns this list of posts.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

An alternative is to add a page_after_or_equal option to the post list API. This would make two sequential requests necessary, which significantly affects speed, and the time between the two requests could increase cache misses in the database if a lot of other queries happen in that time.

Could this not be achieved in the frontend by just redirecting to community feed sorted by new?

@MV-GH That solution would sometimes confuse the user because it would not guarantee that the new post is the first item, especially if new posts are frequent
