A number of Lemmy instances have been hacked overnight.

Some may remain inaccessible until they have been secured and restarted.

As a safety precaution logged-on sessions on many servers have been cancelled and you are required to logon again.

Unfortunately, the only way I could find to do this in Liftoff! is by going to Settings > Accounts and deleting each local account by long pressing on it, and then create it again.

All your posts, comments and bookmarks should be preserved during this process.

Please see the linked posts for further details as they emerge.

Thanks all, and please bear with us as this gets resolved.

I actually didn’t have to delete my existing lemmy.world account but I had to re-add it like it was a new account and log in and seemed to fixed it.
