Server side bug with lemmy.world and intermitent authentication. (lemmy.ml)

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.

Same here, it’s driving me mad. Also did the above and glad to see I’m not alone!

The good news is it only appears to affect lemmy.world. If you have an account on another instance, you should switch to that account for now.

I might do that at this point, with the attention world is getting, it might be smart to have a backup.
