Every time I try to upvote or boost something, there's a solid 20% chance it'll link to an Error page titled "Log in". That percentage seems to increase the longer I've had my Kbin tab open without refreshing it.

Even more annoyingly, it regularily logs me off completely, forcing me to input my information again. It's especially annoying on mobile since it won't even remember my password for some reason, which was randomly generated, meaning it's a pain to re-enter it every time.

The effect is that it's making me interact with Kbin less and less, I end up just scrolling without upvoting or commenting or anything, and ultimately I also just use the site less overall.

I like it here otherwise, but this one bug is making Kbin a real chore to use, and I know a lot more people have been experiencing it for a while now.

That does (usually) work yeah, but for example if I'm simply scrolling down I can't do that, since refreshing will bring me all the way back up and change what posts are even displayed.

This isn’t speaking towards the login issue we all experience, but as far as reentering your password, you should have a password manager that you use. That should enter the password easily with minimal effort from you.

Yeah I need to look into that, I just use Firefox's on desktop, but I don't have it on mobile; I'm assuming there's a way to link them together. It just hadn't really been an issue until now.

A good password manager does far more than Firefox's built-in. Among the many things it does is sync across devices. Personally I like Bitwarden a lot, and there are several others out there that are good too.
