How would you guys go about redirecting the user to the sign in page when their session expires? Something that would check every minute or so if their session is still active and then redirect to the home page. Just wanted to see how you'd tackle it.

Don't know exactly how you can run it every minute, but I made something pretty similar using a custom middleware. Check this: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/middleware#global-middleware. You would have to check your user's session every time that he/she made a HTTP request.
I think Laravel executes the middlewares in the order that you define them though, so pay attention to the order you will put your custom middleware so it doesn't cause any trouble with the native ones

Making a request would just be keeping the session alive tho

You should be able to do it at the route level, so you protect your main pages, if they aren't logged in they go to the sign in page

the Auth::Route will support this functionality as a default func.

Just use an Auth route so they can only access when logged in
