It's just a link to a blogpost, like all the other links on HN. None are treated any special way. Why would content that was on lobsters first be treated differently.
The mismatch seems to stem from the fact that generated comments are against HN guidelines, but automated posts are tolerated by mods, which seems somewhat reasonable on its face, but has failure modes when OPs' own posts, even when they post first, are scooped by bots.
