3rd party apps having issues since the attack?

squigglemonster@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 46 points –

Since some instances were compromised earlier I've been able to access the desktop and mobile sites (just had to log in again) but can't get third party apps to work. Jerboa seems confused whether I'm logged in or not, some pages work and others give a 'not logged in' error - I don't see any option to log out or remove account from the app? Liftoff not working at all, I tried removing and re-linking my account but it's hanging when I try to sign in. Are the apps down for everyone just now, or is there something I can do to fix it?

PS. if anyone knows how to avoid Firefox crashing when using it to view Lemmy as a webapp (is that the right term??) please enlighten me because it crashes whenever I lock my phone or tab over to another app.

PPS. I hope it's okay to ask these kind of support questions here, if there's a dedicated tech support community please point me in the right direction, thanks!

Due to the attack, some admins logged out everyone's account for security. This also means you'd be logged out of third-party apps, but the apps may not respond properly.

You can try to log out of the account on the third party app and relogin, see if that fixes the issue

and if you get the funny "you need to be logged in to logout" message -> delete app data in your phones app settings. did the trick for me.

This is the answer. Had to logout of Jerboa and login again. Problem solved.
