I am currently getting signed out every minute from lemmy.world. This is not a client side cache issue. I tested making API calls from the command line (with curl) with no cache and the issue still occurs. One call I get the correct response, the next I get a 400 telling me im not signed in.

I'm primarily testing with the https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count api endpoint. I'm not sure if this issue occurs with all endpoints.

Reproduction steps:

1. Get a lemmy.world JWT token for your account using your desired method (eg. postman).
2. curl https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth={JWT_TOKEN_HERE}
3. Note the 400 error. If you do not get an error repeat step 2.

Edit

This issue only seems to affect lemmy.world so a temporary workaround is to use a different instance for the time being.

Hello! I'm the developer of Summit, one of the Lemmy apps.

I want to be able to mark a post as read using an API call.

I understand that fetching the post itself using the account JWT will mark the post as read for that account, however this also fetches a lot of data.

Trying to be as server friendly as possible, what is the least resource intensive way to mark a post as read and nothing else?

Also if there is a better place to ask this, please let me know.
