it has nothing to do with cookies (and my advice is to NOT clear your cookies if you have a working session), the login form is (was?) broken, the API endpoint for the login kept returning a 404 status code
Mh.. the login endpoint seems to work
Could you please share some more information?
Yes, only now, shortly before I typed that comment the endpoint always returned a 404 error.
It was a server-side error, many users in the comments confirmed it multiple times and it was a bit surprising that none were acknowledged: it had nothing to do with browser cache or cookies, the login was broken. Ruud finally acknowledged that it's a bug related to closing registrations. Apparently closing them prevents user login.
I'm sorry, you are absolutely right!
He was working on a different issue, but I honestly didn't give them much attention because I was investigating the cookie issue.
The issue regarding the API endpoint could be "fixed" by reenabling the registration.
The still-existing cookie issue is reported (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1740) and @sunaurus@lemm.ee even fixed it already (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1741)
We're now just waiting for it to get merged
But the cookies are set just for the path
