Saving login status

Lemmy.world seems to have a super short lifetime on whatever cookie they're using to persist a user session. I feel like sometimes it logs me out after 24 hours. Could we make this default to something more reasonable, or is there maybe a reason behind the short lifetime?

I have the same issue. Using FF with strict security settings. Though I'm not sure that should matter.

I never got logged out from my account see my account age. So long is the cookie time. You probably have a setting to delete cookies every hour or so.

Do you think that's some kind if setting in Firefox? I thought the web site determines the expiration date for a cookie?

Yeah possible, do you have vanilla firefox? or did you increase the privacy protection?

I have the standard Firefox for iOS, and the only security setting I see that might be related is "Enhanced Tracking Protection", which is set to standard. I would assume that should allow basic cookies for persistent login though. I wonder if there's something about Lemmy that is causing it to be detected as some kind of ad tracking thing?

Hmmm, is there something in the ios settings? I have no idea why it doesnt work on your ios?
