A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Lemmy cookie expiring and forgetting, well, everything? (self.asklemmy)

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't find mention of it. I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly; haven't measured it) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Isn't this bonkers practice?

Edit: I've just seen https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266 which may explain it. Either way, the questions stand.
