YSK PSA: if you're having any trouble logging in, staying logged in, editing a post etc... to Lemmy or apps, make sure you clear cache / cookies
Why YSK: after yesterday's security incident many instances have reset the session tokens which your browser remembers. This is causing issues.
You need to clear cache / cookies / app storage, etc... to eliminate any login problems or problems staying logged in.
I've seen many posts mentioning this already.

According to people smarter than me it seems to be a lemmy.world issue: https://lemmy.world/post/1364490
Hope I linked it correctly
Yeah, and this PSA doesn't work - at least it didn't for me. I think this comment is the actual cause, and why clearing cookies doesn't help.
The link works perfectly! Currently, there's still no way to link a post from other instance that can instantly open the fetched counterpart post in the instance of the user opening the link.
Not a complete solution, unfortunately, there are other problems as well. But yes, a good piece of advice.
Yeah still having issues.
How does one clear cookies and cache for apps on iOS?
You'll probably need to log out and back in from your third-party app. For the browser, https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201265.
I have Firefox set to automatically do all that whenever I close my browser but it's still somewhat of an issue on kbin. Not enough to bother me but it happens.
Didn't work. I just installed Liftoff to see if it happens there too or not. But even with the new install the issue happens. So I migrated to Lemm.ee
