Anyone else have similar experience? Can it be a sign of manipulation?

Yes. NO.

Pools calculate hash rate based in the number of share submitted. If you don't submit shares your hashrate is zero.
It has nothing to do with solo pool vs shared pool. High stratum difficulty will reduce share rate and make pool's reported hashrate more volatile.

Well, as far as I can tell, BFGMiner behaves the same both in shared mode and solo mode.
I'm talking about the same pool.
Shares are submitted and accepted and I hit blocks in shared mode, but as soon as I switch to solo mode in the same pool
it starts to look "erratic" at the pool's end. Can't see any big change my end (in BFGMiner). Apart from not hitting as many blocks as in shared mode.
I do know that hash rate is seldom exactly the same both ends.

Would you say that the small Moonlanders are less affected by the difficulty in shared mode?
I just see the same difficulty either way, but now I'm thinking perhaps shared mode is easier on these little buggers?

I'm just trying to understand how it works as I just started playing around with mining.
Thanks for trying to explain for a newbie like me
