Since a few weeks ago, Lemmy.world will always log me out when I leave it, and I cannot find a “stay logged-in” tick-box anywhere in the settings. Is this a bug or a feature or perhaps a “me-problem”?
Happens with Firefox and Vivaldi on Linux, if that matters. Emptying cache/cookies did not help. Mobile app is fine.
Thanks for any hint!
ETA, thanks to @Rooki@lemmy.world, there is a temporary workaround to this:
I could set the lemmy.world cookie to “lax” using a cookie manager extension. Now it seems to work, both with F5 and when I leave Firefox.
Can confirm that is happening to me too, using Firefox v130 on Linux, the weird thing is I have another machine that was logged in since a few months back that is still logged in and does not have this issue
Hello,
you shouldnt be logged out if you leave the page.
Here are some ideas:
- Check that you are in Firefox NOT in “strict” privacy mode
- Check addons if they modify anything
- Check for Errors in the Developer Console ( F12 )
- Try to login on an alternate UI ( like https://a.lemmy.world or https://p.lemmy.world )
Thanks a lot!
It happens on Firefox (130), Vivaldi and a pretty virgin Chromium. Firefox is a little worse, in that if I press F5 to just reload a page, I am logged out again, no matter the security setting. This does not happen on the other browsers. I don’t really know what to look for in the console; it shows errors in fonts, things like ‘line-height’ and such, nothing that would give me a hint. However, I am not a web-developer and could easily overlook something.
Could you check if you have your Privacy Settings set to LOWER than strict. Did you try on a alternative ui like Alexandrite?
Thanks bunches for putting up with me. 👍
I have tried all privacy settings, no change. Where can I change the ui, please; it’s not in my account settings?And Lemmy is the only site that does this. I do not have this issue with any other site, including other Fediverse sites like Mastodon or Pixelfed.
Ha! Thank you! Alexandrite works normally. Not my taste, though. 😀
Is there anything I can do now, or will I have to work with Alexandrite until the normal ui fixes itself somehow?
There is also https://p.lemmy.world/ that you can try
I’m not the biggest fan of Alexandrite either
Using Firefox 127.0 on Linux Mint MATE 20.3
I haven’t even used this laptop in over a month. No login issues here, my old login token is still just as valid as when I set it aside.
I had this exact same problem using Firefox containers, if you try and open Lemmy.world in a container it logs you out every time you close the page or browser, I just started opening it without assigning it to a container and it seems to work just fine.
