No, i'm not assuming this.
For example one difference is that situation #1 is a surprise (you get a notification while you were in the middle of something else) and situation #2 is not (it's anticipated, you decide to check the HN website and decide to check for replies to your comments).
Situation #1 generates a startle reflex in some manner, whereas the anticipated visit #2 does not.
