I’m posting from an off-server account for reasons explained below. When I log in to lemmy.world with my lemmy.world account, I get the little message in the bottom left saying that I am logged in; however, the top bar does not reflect that and still shows the Login/Sign-up options. I’m not able to post. Is lemmy just having some problems right now? Is anyone else having this problem?
Can you tell me how you did that? I’m having the same issue
The specific steps will depend on your browser, but it’s usually under something like Settings > Privacy and Security. Look for ‘clear cookies’ or ‘clear website data’, etc. When you click on it, ensure it is set to clear from All Time instead of just today, etc. Note, this will likely clear all cookies for all sites, so you’ll need to login again to all of your usual sites.
that worked perfectly, thanks a lot
I see that someone already helped, but yeah most browsers you have to just clear it for all sites. There are extensions that allow you to clear them for individual sites. On Firefox, I use this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-quick-manager/
