In a recent thread asking for top five movies, my comment was added to another user’s post but weirdly they’re comment was VERY similar to mine. Then my exact same comment was added to ANOTHER user’s post. I’m now sure if this is an issue with the Memmy app or Lemmy I general, but the fact that my original comment was confused with another very similar comment is pretty sus. Why would this happen? Is it a coincidence?

    This one has my exact comment but with a different user name. What the hell is going on?

      It’s likely just an app issue. I see your comment with proper accreditation in wefwef, Mlem, and on the mobile website. While using Memmy your comment appears as expected the first time I scroll through, but after I load more comments it is (seemingly) arbitrarily assigned to another user when I scroll back. It’s probably just some data structure merge error or something.
