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:
- Get a lemmy.world JWT token for your account using your desired method (eg. postman).
curl https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth={JWT_TOKEN_HERE}- 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.
What’s an example of something that would take more than one API request?
Signing in. Most websites/apps will probably also grab your unread count, and maybe even your subscription feeds.
Another example is checking your inbox. Lemmy actually has 3 inboxes: mentions, replies and PMs. A lot of websites/apps bundle these three so they will need to check all 3 inboxes via 3 API calls.
