    I got an email the other day from Reddit about their privacy policy in the email account I made specifically for Lemmy and have not used AT ALL for Reddit. It is the only unexpected email I’ve ever had at this address and it made me wonder if someone else made a reddit account using my email. But then, it’s not publicly visible on Lemmy, afaik. Is it somewhere?

      Could be a mistype, if your mail is vaguely recognizable language. I know my “email neighbor” has gotten a fair share of my mistypes.

      I too got an email about policy change. What’s weird is that I did not get such email on my main email, which is used for my reddit account, but I did get that email on another email that I mostly use to sign up on random sites. That email said it affects a reddit account by the name I never heard before and it was empty (zero posts/comments), created 2-3 years ago, so that was weird
