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.
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.
