I noticed that every time I visit the site, I have to log in. I remember not having to do this a few days ago. I was assuming a cookie was being set for a timeframe until I explicitly log out. I can't remember if there was a "remember me" button. I'm using Firefox and tried disabling my extensions, but that didn't seem to help.

I'm usually just either clicking a link that directs me to a post on this programming.dev instance (via my RSS reader) or just typing the programming.dev domain in my browser bar. Neither of which seems like it would have cross-domain cookie issues, so not sure what it could be.

Clicking on the link would if you're currently on lemmy.world and it's taking you to programmingml.dev. But ya typing the URL into the browser bar shouldn't.

Something you might try... Logout and log back in and the look for the jwt cookie and see what properties are set on it. Maybe they've started using session only cookies?

I'm never going straight to lemmy.world. This happens even when links are going to a Lemmy post on my instance, programming.dev. For instance, I'm viewing this post on programming.dev, and I just had to log in again to see it.

very strange. We haven't done an update since the 9th, so you shouldn't be seeing anything acting differently.
