For the past several hours the Lemmy website has been signing me out. When I close a tab signed into lemmy.ml and open a new tab later, I get the unsigned home page and I have to sign back into the website.
I’m using Lemmy 0.18.0 and I have an account at lemmy.ml. I’m using chromeOS Stable 114.0.5735.205. While I haven’t changed my desktop setup for at least the past several weeks, the only thing that rings a bell is yesterday I got the chromeOS 114.0.5735.205 update.
The issue also occurs with Chrome 114.0.5735.147 for Android on my Pixel 7 Pro and the Lemmy PWA.
Updates
- I also noticed the Lemmy user interface is now in Italian (I’m in Italy) despite having set it to English.
- The user interface language is back to English.
I noticed that you don’t even need to close the tab. You’re just signed out after a few minutes.
Maybe this is intentional to free up resources? (Not that it would free up resources to delete the sessions on server and have the users re-authenticate every few minutes, but I see why someone would have thought so.)
That’s definitely a possibility, but it doesn’t explain why the language setting is ignored (assuming the issue is related).
Never mind, the user interface language is back to English.
