Sounds to me like the server had their caching misconfigured, resulting in a personalised page being put in a public cache. Normally only static resources such as images and static webpages would be put in a public cache.
Currently I don't think there's any private information that could be leaked this way in lemmy, but it might be wise to notify the instance admins about this.
I wonder if it's the same problem I was having yesterday when I opened a bunch of communities in tabs and subscribed to them, and some of the tabs showed the wrong info in the box. (probably also caching)
Will do. Thanks.
