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 @[email protected], 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.
Why would Lemmy not work in strict security mode when every other site works just fine? It’s just a cookie, right? How is lemmy.world special?
Funny enough this was the issue for some people. Strict mode could have effects on cookies. But as he already tested it, it was not the issue.
Does lemmy.world use third party cookies for authentication or something? Otherwise, I don’t see how strict mode should interfere.
No, but better have him check it out of possible issues. But this is in general a lemmyUI bug.
