Only time it's happened, I had to refresh to get it to go away. I checked and the username is real, they joined 3 days ago.

Is this a common issue? Any security risk?

Sometimes the lemmy frontend also changes the post that you're reading atm, but as far as we know it's not a security risk at the moment. It's just shown, you can't act as that user or post.

tl;dl: bug

Is there already an issue where something like that gets tracked?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

might be, but I don't know. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/192981 see the comment by @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works though, it's going to be reworked anyways.
