I keep having to login to Lemmy on any iPhone browser every time I navigate to a new page. Is there a way to keep me logged in?locked

The title really. I tried Firefox, Safari and Chrome, they all behave the same way: I have to re-enter my credentials almost every time I refresh the page or navigate to a new link within Lemmy. Especially on iPhone this is very annoying (since accessing your saved passwords requires entering a code). Is there a way to extend the life of the session?

Edit: I'm not seeing the same issue on my laptop, btw.

Isn't it really small on an iPhone? Why not....use an app?

I haven't noticed it being small. Any app recommendations?

Voyager is really nice. Definitely modeled after Apollo. You can find it in the App Store, or you can use the web app version at https://vger.app if you prefer.

I use Voyager. It's pretty great. You don't have quite as much control when creating posts as you do in the browser though.

Boost! Dev was great on Reddit, very active. Has a client for Lemmy now!

are you opening the page in private window? that can be the problem.

Even a private window should only log you out once you fully close it.

I’ve had the same issue, happens on my MacBook too. I feel like Lemmy has some weird thing where it kills your session if your IP changes too much or something like that and doesn’t actually have to do with that it’s an iPhone, since I pretty much only notice it when traveling.

Most of the time, you're not actually signed out. Refresh the page and it will show correctly.

It's still a problem obviously, but you shouldn't need to have to keep signing in

I had this problem with FireFox up until more recently. Is your FF app up to date? Mine was like 5 versions behind for some reason (I have auto updating on but had to manually update it).

And you are checking the "leave me logged in" checkbox under where you enter your credentials, right?
