Hi! Thank you for Lemmy! So, when I load the page with Chrome, I'm always shown as logged out. I have to refresh the page, and then suddenly I'm logged in. I found that this bug exists only on Chrome, on all OSes (Linux, Windows, and Mac), and it exists both on lemmy.ml, and on lemmy.world.

But that's not the weird part.

The weird part is that when I reload the page, half of the times, the username becomes something like "killingcore" or something like that (it doesn't stay On for very long, so I can't read it well) before it changes to "Eugenia". I don't understand what that username is. Is it some kind of security problem? Or some cache, part of the normal code? It's really weird.

I noticed that that weird username happens only on lemmy.ml, not on .world.

Edit: I reloaded the page a bunch of times to retest, and what I'm reading is something killthrillrope or something like that. And it changes back to Eugenia almost instantaneously. It happens now once every 4-5 reloads of the page.

Edit 2: A few hours later, and it now loads this user for half a second before it loads mine: https://lemmy.ml/u/cypherpunks Not only that, but it loads his dark theme for that half second (my default is light theme).

    Yeah, very weird, haha! It seems that it happens to a few users, maybe users in a specific list? Because from the thousands of users over here, to happen to load my username, it seems that the mix up happens between very few users, and possibly some that are in a very specific list (by mods?). It doesn't happen on .world you see...
