It’s not uncommon apparently.

It’s happened to me twice so far.. I supposed, the more strain on the server the more it shits the bed on this, but it is a security issue and needs to be resolved.

When it happened, I decoded the JWT and it wasn’t different than my regular one. It still had my own subid as I usually have but for some reason, it shows me someone else’s username.

As I’ve been using mods for Tears of the Kingdom game there were 2 versions of the DS4 UI prompts mod.

The first one almost never worked and was slowly getting updated so another dude just remade a new one and made it better and for all layouts.

The dude that created the first mod then started sending cringe messages to the new modder about how they look awfully similar and why did he choose to do that.

Dude, you made a mod that changes the letter A icon to the letter O icon. What creative freedom do you think there is to make a unique mod?

instead of other servers?

The fact that when people started joining about a week ago or so, lemmy.ml was at the top of the recommendations in join-lemmy, the fact that it had in its description that lemmy.ml is ran by the developers of lemmy and the jerboa app so people assumed this is the correct one and lastly, unfortunately during that time the only alternative instances at the top of the recommendations was lemmygrad and I don’t remember the other one that screamed communism so people flocked to other ones.

I logged in about 3 hours ago and was browsing Lemmy.ml. While looking around, I got suddenly logged out. I pressed “Log in” and it immediately logs me back in and on the top right, my username was “Unwarlike”.

I can only assume this was someone else’s account and the app messed something up.

I pressed logout and then logged back in and it went back to normal.

I think there are a few bugs that need ironing our in lemmy’s codebase.

but wouldn’t that cause conflicts?

No. There is a !gaming@lemmy.ml and a !gaming@beehaw.org.

Each community is suffixed by the instanced they are hosted in. So if the mods of one community are shitbags or the rules made a community a shit abyss, just use the same community of another instance that you feel is better.

admins are desperately hoping people start signing up to other instances

I did that and here I mentioned why I couldn’t realistically do it.
