Only time it’s happened, I had to refresh to get it to go away. I checked and the username is real, they joined 3 days ago.
Is this a common issue? Any security risk?
Just websocket weirdness. Going away with version 0.18.
Sometimes the lemmy frontend also changes the post that you’re reading atm, but as far as we know it’s not a security risk at the moment. It’s just shown, you can’t act as that user or post.
tl;dl: bug
Is there already an issue where something like that gets tracked?
might be, but I don’t know. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/192981 see the comment by @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works though, it’s going to be reworked anyways.
Oh wow. I’ve heard of comments ending up on the wrong thread, but that sounds bad.
edit: Come to think of it, I bet that has to do with why the vote counts vary so wildly sometimes (I just “upvoted” this post from 889 to 4)
Same, it was really strange, they were using a different theme as well, I thought I was tripping
