I’m not sure if this is a Lemmy issue, an instance issue or a Jerboa issue but occasionally when I hit the button to reply specifically to the main post and make a top-level comment, it instead replies to one of the already existing top level comments.
I don’t know how long this has been happening; I only just now noticed it wasn’t me accidentally clicking the wrong reply button when it happened twice in a row and I was making absolute sure I hit the right button the second time.
It might have happened to me too earlier using alexandrite UI on a world account. I can’t be sure because I’m a zombie today with next to no sleep, however I replied to someone and it popped up on the wrong poster like 6 hours ago. This is highly unusual for me, even when extremely sleep deprived. I edited, and pasted the message appropriately. I have not seen the problem occur again since. I assumed it must have been me, but after seeing this post, I would say both are equally plausible; it was very out of character for me.
