    Would it be possible to reset the purge timer for individual users based on activity? e.g. A user who comments or up/downvotes something gets their purge timer reset, so that active users never get purged unless they change their password or similar. Not sure how easy it is to tie activity data to a login token, I have no idea how Lemmy or anything else works.

      Lemmy could keep the last time each token was used (every request uses it), but then it’d do a lot of writes and likely be a somewhat poor choice for performance reasons.
      Some sites display your other current logins with an option to remove whichever as you see fit, which seems more elegant.
      Putting the user in control seems more ideal than guessing.
