Why am I signed out every time I open this? Why can I hardly post anything anywhere? It’s like a dice roll.
Getting the same thing. Found out I was unsubbed from the sub I was following.
Server-side authentication bug; maybe fallout from the recent attack? I’d expect instability for the next day or so as auth & related problems shake out.
lemmy.world has never been stable, nor has lemmy
Production services are actually fuckin’ goddamn difficult, and I add another swear to this comment for every time I have to try reposting it.
Yep lemmy.world is live (stress) testing in production. It has its benefits, like when a set of patches were committed to vastly improve performance that was a big problem on a huge instance like lemmy.world but not on the smaller ones, and its downsides with all the random issues that pop up which happen when testing live in production.
Lemmy has been improved at light speed over the last couple of weeks. When I joined around 3 weeks ago everything felt prototype-like. But now lemmy.world back-end with Voyager front-end feels almost like Apollo quality. At this rate, it definitely will, in another couple of weeks.

Summary: Attacker found a way to inject JavaScript into the sidebar, letting them steal auth tokens (“JWTs”), including from an admin account. They then used the stolen admin access to vandalize the site. At one point, the attacker used the stolen admin account to falsely announce that the attack had been remediated. Later that day, the attack actually was remediated by the site owner (Ruud) and the vulnerability was patched in the Lemmy code.
lemmy.world is bugged right now. What I did is backed up my account subscriptions/settings and imported it over to sh.itjust.works. You may need to try a few times (it’ll tell you when it’s successful).
Lemmy.world when I tried to post kept saying not logged in. Created an account on sh.it just.works
e: This instance hardly has anything
Clean app data and cache, login again, fixed for me at least
