The lemmy.world instance was just updated to version 0.18.2. The login issues that were being reported (for example, here) are now resolved.
For release notes: https://lemmy.world/post/1339018
Edit for those who still have issues logging in:
- When using a browser: clear cookies and cache
- When using an app: remove your lemmy.world account and add it again.
The most important one:
The security issue got officially patched! https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-07-11_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18.2
Lemmy.world was already running a version with this security patch but indeed that’s also in 0.18.2!
Impressive speed. You guys are amazing.
Yeah i already knew that but now it is officially patched :)

Thank you for your hard work :)
Update seems to be running pretty smooth, but (and maybe I missed it) I think it would be super awesome if you put up a banner ahead of time letting people know you are doing a maintenance or update or something at X:00 pm EST or something.
To suddenly settle down and log in to post and support the platform only to be hit with a shit ton of confusing issues, then everyone posting about the same issues, then getting an update about what happened that caused the issues after the fact is less than ideal.
Again, maybe y’all did and I missed it, but a little banner with a heads up would be…
Anyone using Liftoff - if you can’t log in, or keep getting logged out, remove and re-add your account:
Settings from top right
Accounts
Long press the account
Click Remove
Then add the account again
Fwiw, I skipped to the last step and it worked. Didn’t have to remove the account, re-adding the existing account still worked
That’s a top tip! I’ll update our instructions to our users. Thanks!

Works on one phone, not on the second one. So weird.
I’ve found for both Liftoff and Jeroba that going to the android apps page on my phone and clearing the cache for both of them cleared up some persistent login/logout issues that removing/adding my account didn’t.
Good. These growing pains are a sign that we’re gathering steam. Best part is, with alt accounts on other fedded sites we no longer have to do something else during downtime.

I just saw the update show up. Looks great. Seems to be running much smoother than the past couple days. Thank you LemmyOps team
I was logged out again and I thought my account had been hijacked.
What a spook I got
Oh, so that’s what was logging me out. I cleared cookies, but it kept happening. Cheers.
Unrelated but are you the same Antik that has graffiti all over Amsterdam?
No but I saw them too! I considered it a tribute, so thanks whatever his tagname is! 😁
Haha that’s great! Their tag is one of the most common all over Amsterdam. I’ve no idea if they’re a single person or a group though.
Hm. I am still getting logged out, both on the website in Chrome and on my mobile app mlem.
New app icons are awesome!
Still broken for me. I’m seeing a 400 on the unread_count request after login. After the login page refreshes the page still asks me to log in again.
edit: workaround is to manually clear your cookies for the site and try again
bottom left of the screen even says “logged in” but… I am not

Should it have logged folks out as a means to help resolve the login issues? I honestly couldn’t tell because when I went away before this update, I was experiencing the issue and came back to it logged out, thinking it was a continuation of the issue till I saw this post…But then it left me asking this.
I assume this is not the same meaning as in the UK!More seriously, great work!
Just for clarification: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonce
It works in browser, but Jerboa won’t show subscribed for me?
Did you try to remove your account and add it again?
