When Logging In, Saw Another Username and Icon (lemmy.world)

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 🔥. 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.
