Is it a comment left on a post that your new post linked to?
If so, it’s a pingback, an old way to say “this post was referenced in this other post”: https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/support/user-manual/building-your-wordpress-community/trackbacks-and-pingbacks/#pingbacks

Hello, When I publish an article I instantly get a comment – I go to read it, and it’s a snippet of the text from the article I published! This has happened four times since I’ve had my WP account. I’m not sure what’s going on – running latest WP on my Mac, in Chrome.
