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 β€œlax” using a cookie manager extension. Now it seems to work, both with F5 and when I leave Firefox.

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?

[–] DeuxChevaux 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks bunches for putting up with me. πŸ‘
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. πŸ˜€

Is there anything I can do now, or will I have to work with Alexandrite until the normal ui fixes itself somehow?

[–] Rooki 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think i have a another idea. You are on linux and could you check if you are using the flatpack ( or snap ) of firefox / vivaldi? If so, could you try the system package ( if available ) for firefox etc...

Its just a idea from my side, as i am personally a linux user too and browsers and flatpack doesnt work well.

[–] DeuxChevaux 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the idea. All my browsers are Deb packages, no Snap/Flatpack/AppImage. I am still on Ubuntu for now, but I try to stay away from Snaps wherever I can due to slightly less-than-stellar experiences.

Ok, i have no other idea on why this could happen. I would recommend for you to watch or even create a issue on https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues and tell what your issue is there. I found a something similar issue here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2666 the last comment has fixed it on their firefox. But for you its not just firefox its everywhere for you. But you could give it a try.

And that sees to be it. 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.

[–] Rooki 2 points 2 months ago

Ok still weird that other firefox users ( like me ) doesnt have it even when logging in and out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There is also https://p.lemmy.world/ that you can try

I'm not the biggest fan of Alexandrite either
