Haven’t been able to log in

To Lenny.world for days. No issues with others…

Deleted app and re-downloaded. Still can’t log in.

Any clue?

Happened to me as well, I think they must have gotten a bit more aggressive at blocking certain VPN connections.
If you're on a VPN, try changing the server and see if it starts working.
Hi,
this was possibly an unintended side-effect of our increasingly aggressive AI crawler DDoS blocking. When increasing the scope of issuing Cloudflare challenges we missed excluding API endpoints from the rule, that should be fixed now.
This should only have affected clients with browser user agents though, and I see requests with user agent VoyagerApp/1.0. @aeharding@vger.social do you know if Voyager can send browser-like user agents when installed from App Store?

  Voyager actually used to haha. But added a static voyagerapp user agent because lemmy.ml started blocking without last year 🫠 can’t win unfortunately. Thanks for fixing.
  Btw, voyager PWA will always use browser ua, native app will use VoyagerApp/1.0 for api requests, AND <browser ua> VoyagerApp/1.0 for browser managed requests (like loading images).
  TLDR native app will always have VoyagerApp/1.0 somewhere in the string, PWA doesn’t touch the ua
  
  i see. for PWAs that's expected, for the native app i would've expected a consistent UA for all requests.
  our current blocks/challenges are explicitly targeting things that pretend to be browsers while not actually being browsers. we try to exclude requests that are expected to be accessed by browser based clients that aren't directly on the main site. appending to browser user agents still matches our browser user agent detection.
  i'm not sure why this was causing issues here though, especially with the login, as that should just be 100% api stuff and therefore use VoyagerApp/1.0 from the native app?
- Works now, thank you!
Have you tried logging in through a browser on your phone? Or have tried any app other than Voyager to log in?
- Site and other apps work
  
  Interesting.
  Are you using the TestFlight build or the one from App Store?
  I tried logging out from the app, and signing in again. It works.
I have the same issue. I’m on VPN, but other apps seem to be working fine.
