Meh, if it is then it is (e.g. I could use another app, or like... actually make a password that I can remember hehe:-), but either way I'd at least like to know.

This is the second time now that a week after I log into the app a pop-up has come up titled "Login Session Expired", continuing with "Your login session is no longer valid. Please login again." The options are to login or logout, I can't simply click away. Force-closing the app does work to get around this requirement - except obviously I lose my place in whatever I was reading through, but I can vote and comment again. So obviously the "expiration" was false if I can continue beyond it, but I forget for how long that works before the expiration dialogue comes back again.

Is this normal behavior? If not then are there any ideas why I am seeing it - like perhaps my installation via FDroid rather than the Play Store could be a factor? If it is, then how do people usually deal with this - the force close and reopen method I've been using so far?

Might want to ask your instance Admins about that.

I have never had it ask me to relogin to Lemmy.world or any of the other defunked instance I had accounts on.
I also have it installed from fdroid.

Fwiw, this behavior does not occur in either the Summit 3rd-party app or the standard web UI with Firefox on Android - both with this same account on discuss.online. So it does seem unique to Voyager, or at least something between Voyager and this instance. But that's great to know that it's high unusual and others installing from FDroid aren't seeing this.
