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 someoneelse@kbin.social (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?
Thanks, you’re right. I don’t think I can see their DMs, only their comments and posts (what you’d see looking at their profile), but I’m not sure since I noped out once I realised it was someone else’s account. You’re right; it’s possible their DMs are in there too, and they should know.
In any case, if I can see someone else’s account, it’s obviously not private and that’s a problem.
Thank you for the advice. I’ll do that now.
If you’re seeing their comments and posts (which are public) it sounds like you had an interaction with them and have accidentally tapped on their name viewing their profile.
If you go back (or click back) you’ll get back to your inbox.
Yeah, I think there was a glitch. I restarted the app a few times and my inbox showed their profile info until I restarted the app, no matter what. It stopped after I rebooted my phone. It seems like it might have been a caching issue?
