That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You’re welcome, future RotaryKeyboard.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh cool I thought it was my phone being shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ha, me too, I figured it was just chugging or something.

[–] VirtualGhost 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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. 🙏

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Haha thanks mate, happy to help!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh my god the webkit bug is over two years old apple really wants people using the app store jesus

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] tdawg 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Couldn’t for the life of me understand why this kept happening. Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You’re welcome, happy to help.

[–] FlaxPicker 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Electricfswatter 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought this was because I’m using iOS 17. Thank you! I’m torn between Memmy and wefwef, both are very nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is iOS 17 treating you?

[–] Electricfswatter 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Electricfswatter 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It needs to be propped on its side while charging. It also wont stay on the whole night. You can tap the screen or even double tap your nightstand and it will wake up the phone in standby mode.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah that’s a shame my flat Nomad wireless charger won’t work. Hopefully it comes in a later release.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Annoying. Thanks for being a pioneer!

[–] ndr 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Electricfswatter 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah keyboard is the buggiest part of iOS 17 beta so far. Beta 3 dropped a few hours ago, and I can’t say the keyboard is any better. But maybe it’ll help the issue you are having I hope.

[–] thomasloven 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My scrolling actually just stopped working with this post riiiight below screen…

Upvoting to save others from that fate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hahah so close! Cheers!

[–] Puffles 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I guessed that waiting would fix it, but it’s nice to know why.

[–] sicjoke 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

TestFlighting Mlem on iOS will give you a much better, native experience for using Lemmy on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sicjoke 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used WefWef for a while but PWAs don’t feel as snappy on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you tried it! I’m excited for the rapid development of all of the apps.

[–] FlaxPicker 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Memmy is better!
