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 @Rooki@lemmy.world, 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.

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?

Thanks bunches for putting up with me. 👍
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.
