Anyone else getting logged out periodically in the web UI?

I've tried tossing my browser's cookies and site data, without any effect. I'll stay logged in for a bit, then will get asked to log in again.

I used to get this all the time in FF but refreshing logged me back in. I tried debugging a little but never made any headway.

I'm on Firefox, too. I haven't really given it a try on a Webkit browser, but I could try.

Hmm, I haven't noticed this myself. I wonder if it's because we're running 2 copies of the ui container.

I have seen a bug where lemmy thinks you're logged out until you refresh. I'm pretty sure that's a known lemmy bug though.

Does it happen if you've got the browser open and session going? Or only on a new browser window?

Has anyone experienced this on other lemmy instances?

All the time, I thought it's Firefox. But I can't find a solution.

As above, I'm on Firefox, too. I've been wondering if it's an interaction with uBlock?

This has been happening for me too lately. Oddly, it only seems to affect one of my devices.

I think this is just a lemmy bug and not specific to us: https://lemmy.world/post/18706448

I haven't experienced this myself. I use Librewolf and mac OS and never save cookies (I login each time I visit the site). It sounds like a nuisance though, hope you get it fixed!
