Why YSK: It will start working faster if you give it a sec.
This is a bug in iOS Progressive Web Apps. Your scrolling gets locked to an element that is off the screen. Continuing to try to scroll while it’s in this locked state keeps it in the state longer. No interactions for one second will unlock it.
wefwef are tracking the issue here.
Thank you for sharing the link so that we can also track this issue! This is the first time I saw that
You’re welcome, happy to help!
I don’t know how much future frustration you just saved me, but I’m betting it was a lot. Thank you!
Another fix: Drag all comments (or posts) from left-to-right in an oscillating motion, and this seems to “unstuck” the vertical scrolling. I think what’s happening is that a given comment (or post) is getting stuck ~1 pixel off-center, so the app assumes you’re still focusing on the comment’s horizontal scroll pane (rather than the overall page’s vertical scroll pane).
I guessed that waiting would fix it, but it’s nice to know why.
TestFlighting Mlem on iOS will give you a much better, native experience for using Lemmy on mobile.
I thought the same until I used Wefwef, have you tried it?
Mlem doesn’t have iPad support yet. The app opens in a tiny letterbox view, with the sides of the screen not usable, so it isn’t currently a good solution for me.
I used WefWef for a while but PWAs don’t feel as snappy on my phone.
Glad you tried it! I’m excited for the rapid development of all of the apps.
Man, I thought it was just me. It was driving me bonkers! Thank you sooo much for your informative post. This literally is the first post that I saved on here. Truly ,doing god’s work. 🙏
Haha thanks mate, happy to help!
