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after I log into the app a pop-up has come up titled "Login Session Expired", continuing with "Your login session is no longer valid.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

I just updated to version 2.48.0 yesterday after such a pop-up occurred and it has not happened yet, though I would think there hasn't been enough time for it to trigger yet. Before that I don't recall FDroid nagging me about it so I thought it was up to date but can't recall perfectly (I do have it set up to check every 2 days).

Oh I did forget to mention that this style of pop-up has occurred on two separate devices, both Android, and both using this account. The other device is somehow running only 2.47.4 despite FDroid saying that it is up to date.

If you think that accessing Lemmy from two separate devices, running different versions of Voyager, could be causing the problem, then I would be happy to abandon one of them in order to salvage the other?

2.47.1 had a fix for spurious logouts, so hopefully you were just on an old version? Anyways lmk if it still happens!

Nope, should be fine!
