As much as i love wefwef, the scrolling freeze issue is making this app difficult to use. (lemm.ee)

Saw that this might be a safari specific issue on iOS. For those not familiar, the bug causes scrolling to freeze when swiping back from a post. Usually takes 2-3 seconds for it to unfreeze or you can unfreeze by interacting with a button which causes it to unfreeze.

No problems in this regard with Android/Chrome, just FYI.

This only happens to me once in a while. I wonder if it has to do with the hardware. I have an iPhone 14 pro and and iPad m2.

For me it happens when I try to scroll down before the post is completely closed. Is that working for you?

Yeah I can reproduce it quite often when trying to scroll vertically “too soon” / before a horizontal transition has finished (although it definitely feels like I should be able to scroll vertically at that point)

iPhone 14 Pro Max here, running latest Wefwef (updated it just a few mins ago but can’t check the version number as I type this - EDIT it’s 0.12.0)

I’m guessing this is a bug in the virtual list library that wefwef uses.

I think that’s it. I think I’ve subconsciously stopped trying to do that.

Not hardware related, it happens to me in two devices. iPhone 13 and iPhone 11 Pro

For the record, I prefer wefwef being a web app (PWA). It's amazing the flexibility, fast updates, how lightweight it is and being no-store dependent. That being said, I have a lot of freezing in my iOS (iPhone 13, iOS 16) device using Safari as webview. In Android (Realme, Android 12) using Edge as webview I've never had this problem. When it freeze in iOS, I have to swiping up to access the iOS App Switcher, then I tap on it to reopen it, and usually, the app unfreezes after that. Or sometimes I scroll from other screen area and after a 3 seconds it works. Btw, it only happens to me like 1 time every 2 days. Before the updates, it was more constant, so I think it has been improved

I love wefwef, love it being a web app and it's the reason I'm using Lemmy. All the iOS natives alternatives sucks and I was addicted to Apollo
