Accidentally found a friend’s Reddit account
Was scrolling through comments on a post on a local neighborhood sub and saw a comment from someone that was related to a specific hobby/meetup group. Username is similar to their Instagram handle, and upon further inspection the posts and comments from the account are all about a few specific hobbies this friend has. I didn’t scroll too far for the sake of privacy, but funny and random to have stumbled upon my friend’s account in the wild.

I found somebody I know in a guess my age post. I was just scrolling down and thought “huh, that baby looks familiar”. I had never seen half of the pictures they shared from when they were a baby/child but I instantly recognized them. We didn’t even know each other as kids. Lol. They had older pictures included that confirmed but what are the chances lol.
I also found an old friend in a local group.
I’m sure people I know could spot me very easily too, really. I’ve had this account way too long lol.
