I reported this to Crashdoom a while back. Looks like it's not just us. https://furry.engineer/@Tathar/113094630258123731

I waited for the issue to reoccur so I could test that out. The jwt cookie is missing from the request to / but is present in several of the other resources used for the page. That's consistent with Crashdoom's comment. Sometimes, the issue would only occur in a specific tab (refreshing the tab did nothing, but opening a new tab would have me logged in), which is roughly the opposite of what that user reported, but this time, it was a problem in any tab
👋 This isn't just you! We're aware of the issue and believe that the latest version of Lemmy should fix it; It seems to be an issue with the cookies being set with Strict instead of Lax causing it to not be sent by your browser.
Full announcement for maintenance to perform the upgrade: https://pawb.social/post/14286683
I had the issue reoccur, and I can confirm that the jwt token was missing from the request to /, but present for other resources such as the css stylesheet
