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after I log into the app a pop-up has come up titled "Login Session Expired", continuing with "Your login session is no longer valid.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?

This started happening to one of my accounts a while ago too, except mine expires much more frequently, several times within maybe a few hours, made that account unusable with the Voyager app. It doesnt happen with the Blorp app tho.

Just today another account of mine that Id been using gave me the session expired popup as well. So far this lemmy cafe account hasnt timed out, but both my other ones have now.

This never happens to me using Summit - so yeah it seems app-dependent, or at least presents that way to my naive eyes. Thanks for the suggestion about Blorp:-). And that's good to know that Voyager is causing that for you regardless of account (& presumably instance).

Maybe we are just using the app wrong, somehow, or something, I dunno. ๐Ÿ˜œ
