user-1: Are my questions premoderated, why does it take them a few minutes to show up?
Thanks for any reply :-)

user254: I don't think any are premoderated; not by a human moderator anyway.
If I post a question of my own (on any site), I think I found that maybe it takes a minute or so (not a few minutes) to show on the sort by Active view, but that it appears more quickly on the sort by Newest view?
I'm not sure my observation is correct; but if it is, and if that was implemented on purpose, and if I had to guess why that's so, it would be because a question jumps to the top of the Active view each time it's edited, so they give the author of a question some time (i.e. a delay) in which to edit the new question immediately after it's posted, during which it's not at the top of the Active view.
Editing a question to 'bump' it to the top of the Active queue is seen as poor etiquette (on high-traffic sites) if it's done too frequently -- Purposeful Question Bumping: Abuse or feature?
To get a second opinion I'd recommend you post on https://meta.stackexchange.com except that you might not get a good answer there either ... the closest topic I found there was Newest questions appear with delay which was closed as status-norepro (i.e. Stack Exchange haven't reproduced the bug, don't understand the bug report, and/or think that it doesn't usually happen).
