Subject: Dont upsert Instance row every apub fetch (#2771)
X-Git-Url: http://these/git/%22%7Bauthor_url%7D/static/%7BdonateLemmyUrl%7D?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9e7f0100ad14121b43b89d54b80fb2345d8d83e;p=lemmy.git

Dont upsert Instance row every apub fetch (#2771)

This is not necessary because the domain cant change, so we only
need to insert if no row exists for this domain.

Also fetch instance actor when parsing person, not only community
