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

5 0 ReplyThe 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.

How does one clear cookies and cache for apps on iOS?

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.
2 0 ReplyDidn'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
