Lemmy keeps logging me out
Lemmy keeps logging me out
I have an account on lemmy.ml and two days ago it started logging me out of the website whenever I close the browser tab or browser. This behaviour does not occur on other websites where I choose to stay logged in. So my browser functionality is working as intended.
Has anything changed on Lemmy, cause it used to work for years? Anything I can do?
For me the jwt login cookie is being set to expire in 3023, I edited it to 2026 and it works
Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:"Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT" - so that's in 7 days. Great find though!
I just moments ago commented about this on another post – it's not just you and not just lemmy.ml
Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn't found that post.
Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I've tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.
Sorry if it came across like I was implying that you should have commented there first – that was definitely not my intention! I actually considered making a post on my instance about it too, because I know some people primarily browse local stuff and would likely miss a post from another instance.
I just wanted to let you know it wasn't just you and maybe encourage you to comment there, too, in the hope that more of us mentioning in each post that we're having this problem might help lead to clues and a fix. 🙂
Just did some digging - I cannot see that mentioned post on lemm.ee support. I can find the community but the last post that shows for me is from 3 months ago and when I search for the post's title I get "no results". Bit off-topic though, sorry.
Just refresh. For some reason, it's a thing with lemmy
Refreshing logs me out when I'm logged in and does nothing when I'm logged out.
