I just created my account on lemmy.world today to match the username I have on lemmy.ml.

When I logged in just now, the screen refreshed with a different users name and icon for less than 1 second and then updated to mine.

I thought that was really strange behavior. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how/why this could have happened?

Another reason is not knowing which instance was going to catch on fire today ๐Ÿ”ฅ. You can only post from your own instance, so being able to switch - at least now in the early days - is a nice perk

Yeah this was my thought as well. Seemed like a good move until instances are able to scale and support the increase in traffic.

Another thing I noticed is that some communities are duplicated on different instances but not with the same users and content.
