I was just served a page for somebody else

I was served this page just now, it appears to be for a moderator or admin as there are some extra tools in the toolbar. After reloading this it went away and I couldn't make it happen again.

Possibly there are some caching settings that need adjusting? Thinking of the admin team on this tough day with tons of traffic thank you for your hard work.

This reminds me of the similar problem Steam had back in 2015.

It's not uncommon apparently.

It's happened to me twice so far.. I supposed, the more strain on the server the more it shits the bed on this, but it is a security issue and needs to be resolved.

When it happened, I decoded the JWT and it wasn't different than my regular one. It still had my own subid as I usually have but for some reason, it shows me someone else's username.

Looks like you are just not logged in because it is on another instance. What "tools" do you mean?

Look at the top right of my screenshot, you will see some extra icons. I'm sorry, I should have included the URL: https://lemmy.ml/post/1212570?scrollToComments=true
