This is very strange and I’m sorry for multiple issues in one day, but I just switched to my inbox and it’s all someone else’s account.
I’m @lillypip but my inbox currently shows someone else’s account. I won’t post it here, but I have screenshots if a Voyager Dev wants to see them.
I think I can reply to people from there (the buttons seem to work, but I won’t do it for obvious reasons).
Not sure if this is a Voyager or Lemmy issue, but it’s very seriously weirding me out.
e: it’s not even the same server. My account is on lemmy.ca and my inbox is [email protected] (not the actual account, obviously).
e2: my inbox isn’t that person’s inbox, it’s their outbox. All the content is from them, not to them. I’ve never interacted with this person to my knowledge.
e3: I was wrong: I HAVE interacted with them. A few hours ago, I messaged them to say a link they commented was broken. I didn’t recognise the name until I tried to message them as recommended in the comments here. I can’t message them now; it just hangs.
e4: restarting the app didn’t help, but rebooting my phone fixed it. Maybe it was a caching issue? Like I said, it was showing what was in their public profile (comments and posts), perhaps my inbox was stuck showing that? Anyway, it’s fixed now, so it seems like a caching issue, probably?
That's very strange. If you were viewing private messages of another user, that definitely sounds like either a lemmy bug, or more possibly an instance misconfiguration.
If you want to send screenshots/talk more though, [email protected]. You could also ask your instance administrator.
It wasn’t private messages, I don’t think (though I stopped looking pretty quickly). It was comments and posts.
I think it was a caching error, since after I rebooted my phone it was normal again. I thought the buttons were working, but when I tried DMing them from there, the app stopped responding.
I’m pretty sure now their actual account info wasn’t exposed to me, it was just very weird.
