I have an account on lemmy.ml and two days ago it started logging me out of the website whenever I close the browser tab or browser. This behaviour does not occur on other websites where I choose to stay logged in. So my browser functionality is working as intended.
Has anything changed on Lemmy, cause it used to work for years? Anything I can do?
Thanks! I was searching for posts before I posted but hadn’t found that post.
Edit: that post suggests to clear cookies - I’ve tried that twice on two machines, same problem still.
Sorry if it came across like I was implying that you should have commented there first – that was definitely not my intention! I actually considered making a post on my instance about it too, because I know some people primarily browse local stuff and would likely miss a post from another instance.
I just wanted to let you know it wasn’t just you and maybe encourage you to comment there, too, in the hope that more of us mentioning in each post that we’re having this problem might help lead to clues and a fix. 🙂
No not at all, I just said that because I’m often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.
Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I’m relieved to read it’s not only happening to me!
