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.
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.

Ha! Thank you! Alexandrite works normally. Not my taste, though. 😀
Is there anything I can do now, or will I have to work with Alexandrite until the normal ui fixes itself somehow?
There is also https://p.lemmy.world/ that you can try
I’m not the biggest fan of Alexandrite either
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.
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.
Ok still weird that other firefox users ( like me ) doesnt have it even when logging in and out.
