It’s a bug. You can start a reply in a given thread, the URL stays the same but the page content changes to something unrelated. So when you post the comment it goes to the wrong thread.
For me I tend to see the wrong post sometimes when I go to an old Lemmy tab after being on different Lemmy tabs. If I hit refresh then I’ll get my original post back, but then half the time I go and find the mysterious post because I want to read it now I got a taste.
i have no clue how this happened
