[iOS] Best way to activate swipe back navigation gesture? (self.voyagerapp)

I keep trying different things and can’t figure out the best way to regularly activate the navigate back (swipe from left) gesture without activating the swipe to upvote gesture instead. It works great everywhere but in the comments or in a community trying to get back to the prior feed. I know there is a ticket, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Is anyone else experiencing lag in the swipe-left-to-navigate-back motion? Upvotes and such are fine, but for some reason moving back via swiping from left is much laggier.

To actually attempt to answer the question: Swiping from left on the post content returns me pretty consistently to the post feed. Don't know how to swipe from left on the comments though.

To swipe left from the comments without up or downvoting, you have to swipe from (or very close to) the left side of the screen. Anything further “inward” brings up the voting options it seems. I found it pretty easy once I got used to it.

That just activates the Android swipe-left-to-go-back motion. I guess they have the same effect.

Ah ok. I’m on iOS so there is no dedicated back button. Regarding the lag: I do have the issue where if I swipe to go back, I can’t resume scrolling immediately. It takes a split second for the scrolling to be responsive again. Not sure if that’s the lag you meant. The thing I’m describing is apparently a safari bug:

I'm on Chrome, and my issue is different: it's just that the content I'm "moving" by swiping from the left is stuttery in its motion.

Sorry about your bug, that sounds annoying. Think downloading the PWA via another browser would work better? I forget how Safari-obsessed Apple is.
