Ask the admins if they’re changing the secret every single day (that would be overkill IMO, but they might think this is a must till things get patched, IDK if lemmy.world is on 0.18.2, which implements the patch, or they still haven’t updated).
Yeah, that’s why I usually try and explain things, not just offer solutions. I believe it’s important for the users to understand how things work under the hood. Not in detail, but the general gist of it, yes.
It’s like a secret code. You can define a new one whenever you want (the admins I mean), but that will invalidate any active session (users logged in), so you have to clear cache and log back in.
Yeah, of course, they all use the auth cookie for logging in.
You might wanna log out and readd your accounts, most instances changed the login cookie secret after the attack yesterday, so now the old cookies don’t work any more.
Most instances have added a file size limit now. I don’t know how high or low it is, but it should be enough to upload an avatar, and that’s about it.
No instance can cope with the growth and the media being uploaded. It’s probably in the ballpark of 1GB a day. VPS space is not cheap, neither are 4, 6TB SSDs if you selfhost. So, changes had to be made 🤷.
Should run just fine. I own a Redmi Note 11 Pro, runs just fine.
Android version?
You do know that you have to enable installing apps from unknown sources if you don’t install it from the playstore, right?
Older phone?
Then things should get back to normal in a day or so 👍.
