I am currently getting signed out every minute from lemmy.world. This is not a client side cache issue. I tested making API calls from the command line (with curl) with no cache and the issue still occurs. One call I get the correct response, the next I get a 400 telling me im not signed in.

I’m primarily testing with the https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count api endpoint. I’m not sure if this issue occurs with all endpoints.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Get a lemmy.world JWT token for your account using your desired method (eg. postman).
  2. curl https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth={JWT_TOKEN_HERE}
  3. Note the 400 error. If you do not get an error repeat step 2.

Edit

This issue only seems to affect lemmy.world so a temporary workaround is to use a different instance for the time being.

    I’ve been experiencing something similar/related. If I am logged in and open something in a new browser window, it frequently (starting today) shows me as not logged in. If I refresh the page, I’m suddenly logged in. This doesn’t feel like a authentication problem as much as a timing issue while loading the page. Or maybe what I’m seeing is an entirely different issue.
