Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? (self.support)

The first time it happened, I thought I was crazy and chalked it up to a glitch (i.e. "maybe it's just showing some weird database ID for me as a user or similar"). But this time, it was pretty clearly another user's account. The username was SLVRDRGN or something similar, had a completely different profile picture, etc...but when I went to click on the profile section to see if I had access to the account, the browser refreshed and populated with my account info.

Seems a little concerning potentially, so just thought someone should know. I will try to be faster with a screenshot if it happens again.

we're still unsure what might be causing this, but we'll be updating to 0.19.9 soon. maybe that'll fix this issue.

this reply is deeply concerning.

There's a reason recommendations nowadays are to use other instances than LW. Being the largest instance brings some unique situations.

[–] MrKaplan 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that has nothing to do with this issue.

Ah then sorry, I misread your other comment about

just seeing it more frequently due to a larger number of users

It happens 10x less often on other instances that have 10x fewer people.

Not that hard to figure out, unless you have an agenda you're trying to push.
