Whenever I follow an external link, I'm not logged in.
I'm experiencing a weird bug lately.
When I'm logged in, if I follow an external link (from lemmyverse.net, for instance) to here, the tab that opens is not logged in, and stays that way even if I navigate around the instance. If I then open another new tab, and directly visit mander.xyz, I'm logged in correctly as normal.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? I don't know what could cause this or how to find out if it's a bug with lemmy, mander, or my browser config.
I have tested this and it happens with other instances as well, so it it is not mander-specific.
I am not sure why this happens... In my browser I even get fully logged out when I do this, unless I return to a previously open tab where I am logged in. So, maybe it is related to the behavior of the authentication cookie and how it is stored. Not sure.
