Server side bug with lemmy.world and intermitent authentication. - Lemmy

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 [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.

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.

There are tools that can help! lemmy.ml/post/1875767

I made LASIM - it’s takes 2 API calls to fetch your subscriptions (1 login, 1 profile), so with lemmy.world being 50/50 on those calls, you might have to try a few time, but once you have em, it will be easy to push them to a new instance.

Move lemmy subscriptions to another instance - Lemmy

With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools) Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator [https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim] (LASIM) copies all your subscribed communities and blocks and lets you upload them to another account, in just a few clicks lemmy-migrate [https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate] does the same thing but without a GUI and support for uploading your backup to multiple accounts at once
