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.

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.

Memmy is my second favourite after wefwef. It’s more feature rich, but I like the design of wefwef much better on iPad.

It’s exciting to have all these amazing apps in rapid development.

Thanks for the info! This is probably the most annoying bug in wefwef right now for me. Good to know the devs are aware and working on something. <3

Yeah, that was pretty sad to see. Hopefully the talented wefwef devs can figure out a work around.

Yeah I was trying to figure out patterns on what got it to work again. I normally scroll on the left of my screen, so first I thought scrolling on the right of the screen got it working. So I started doing that instantly when I had the issue, and of course that stopped working. Then I thought scrolling in the middle fixed it, and the cycle continued.

Eventually I found the wefwef dev mention the bug. Turned out I just needed to take a breath!
