This is a new issue which only started within the past few days. I’m completely unable to login to piefed.social via qutebrowser with the only error in the console showing something related to cloudflare with “access denied”

On floorp (which i’m currently using to post this) I can login just fine. anyone else having this issue?

      Hard to say. The fact that this is a cloudflare issue and not some kind of exception from within the code makes it more possible. If it was just a code exception on PieFed’s end, then it would have been unlikely because authentication via the API and the web UI are completely separate code paths and work differently.

      It seems like your issues with feddit.online happen downstream of cloudflare though. The issue with feddit.online has me genuinely stumped and I wonder if it isn’t app-specific in some way (user-agent maybe?).

      this is likely what’s happening. Like I said it only just started happening within the past couple days as I’ve never had this issue with Qutebrowser and piefed.social before.

    I did tighten up some anti-scraper settings in nginx recently. I bet Qutebrowser uses an old version of Chrome internally, which looks suspicious.

    Which version of Qutebrowser are you using?

        With the same version of qutebrowser I was able to log in (I didn’t choose a backend - whatever is the default?)

        There did seem to be a bug where if I typed my username too fast it interpreted it as a command??! Not sure, I don’t use this browser so maybe I’m holding it wrong. Anyway that’s a browser quirk not a PieFed thing.

        Sorry, I don’t know what’s up.
