The title really. I tried Firefox, Safari and Chrome, they all behave the same way: I have to re-enter my credentials almost every time I refresh the page or navigate to a new link within Lemmy. Especially on iPhone this is very annoying (since accessing your saved passwords requires entering a code). Is there a way to extend the life of the session?

Edit: I'm not seeing the same issue on my laptop, btw.

Totally agree

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It has a PWA option, which is pretty cool too!

Isn't it really small on an iPhone? Why not....use an app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I haven't noticed it being small. Any app recommendations?

Voyager is really nice. Definitely modeled after Apollo. You can find it in the App Store, or you can use the web app version at https://vger.app if you prefer.

I use Voyager. It's pretty great. You don't have quite as much control when creating posts as you do in the browser though.

Boost! Dev was great on Reddit, very active. Has a client for Lemmy now!

Does it have an iPhone version?

Doesn't matter to me. But, OP is talking iPhone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh no idea. I'd imagine so, it was a fairly big app on Reddit

Unfortunate

I’ve had the same issue, happens on my MacBook too. I feel like Lemmy has some weird thing where it kills your session if your IP changes too much or something like that and doesn’t actually have to do with that it’s an iPhone, since I pretty much only notice it when traveling.

are you opening the page in private window? that can be the problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

No. I also checked to see if I refused any cookies too and I didn't

Even a private window should only log you out once you fully close it.

Locking as this post violates rule 5.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Most of the time, you're not actually signed out. Refresh the page and it will show correctly.

It's still a problem obviously, but you shouldn't need to have to keep signing in

I had this problem with FireFox up until more recently. Is your FF app up to date? Mine was like 5 versions behind for some reason (I have auto updating on but had to manually update it).

And you are checking the "leave me logged in" checkbox under where you enter your credentials, right?
