Server side bug with lemmy.world and intermitent authentication. (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by idunnololz_test@lemmy.ml to c/support@lemmy.world

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. All Edge, Firefox and Safari keep logging me off. Same with Memmy iOS app.

It's the same with the connect app

I noticed it a little yesterday, but strangely it seems worse today. I'd cleared cache & cookies after the compromise issue, so I was pretty sure it wasn't to do with not doing that, however I think OP's on the right track with their assessment.

Not really sure why it would suddenly seem worse though, other than maybe something to do with server traffic/activity.

What happens when you call POST /api/v3/usre/login after the 400? Do you get another JWT token or the same one?

[โ€“] idunnololz_test@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Different token each time

I have the same issue, not sure what's the root of the problem

Ah damn. Was wondering what was happening. My lemmy.world account is unusable atm due to the bug. I'm gonna have to figure out what all of my subs were.

I was running into this across both my accounts on lemmy.world. Changing my password seems to have resolved it both on the web and in Mlem.
