Description
From logs, I was able to find that a forEach.. function is causing the issue in discussions/posts/data/hooks.js, where post.pinned is causing issue as initially it is getting an undefined post.

Research direction
Start at src/discussions/posts/data/hooks.js line 14 and reproduce creating a post from the new discussion MFE sidebar. Trace the forEach call and the initial undefined post; done means the post creation flow no longer errors when that value is encountered.
