Lemmy keeps logging me out (lemmy.ml)

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 have that from time to time. I connect a few times, and then it goes away. I never understood how it works.

I used to have it from time to time too, but now it's every single time and that's inconvenient.

Weird, especially if it started two days ago

[–] Nothing4You@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it seems to have become more frequent recently.

i've been experiencing the same on firefox and i've also heard other people report the same on firefox, which happened around the time of the firefox 129 release. i didn't see anything noteworthy in the release notes though that'd explain this. it seems like it might be related to enhanced tracking protection and cookie isolation.

Possibly, but I'm wondering why it's only affecting Lemmy then? (I'm using Librewolf that's based on Firefox)

Just refresh. For some reason, it's a thing with lemmy

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Refreshing logs me out when I'm logged in and does nothing when I'm logged out.
