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
Oh cool I thought it was my phone being shit.
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!
I thought this was because I’m using iOS 17. Thank you! I’m torn between Memmy and wefwef, both are very nice.
It’s pretty good and my main complaint is that the keyboard is kinda busted in telegram and less often in sometimes other apps. Basically what happens is the keyboard will cover the ui including the text box. It’s very annoying and is why I can’t recommend anyone try iOS 17 as of yet. Beta 3 might be released today so hopefully it gets fixed
One more question, does the new Standby mode only work when then phone is propped upright, or does it also work if the phone is face up and flat on a table?
Also speaking of the keyboard, I had a more annoying bug a couple of time. Basically, my lockscreen has an alphanumeric password and in a couple of occasions the keyboard would never pop up, so I had to reboot my phone :/
But it’s overall pretty stable for a beta.
My scrolling actually just stopped working with this post riiiight below screen…
Upvoting to save others from that fate.
TestFlighting Mlem on iOS will give you a much better, native experience for using Lemmy on mobile.
And the Test Flight for Memmy as well, although i believe it is full but should be on the app store in the next 24 hrs.
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.
