The only way to free it up is to pull up from the bottom as if I’m force closing the app but then not follow through. This has been going on for the past few days.

Of the three different apps I use to access Lemmy, this is the only one that does this- so it’s not my phone.

    Yea, the same thing happens to me. I’m assuming it’ll be fixed at some point.

    Edit: I’d also like to add that it mostly happens AFTER I open a post and swipe “back” out of it.

      I also experience the same behavior when going back though it happens randomly. My assumption is that it’s because when you go back one page, it’s trying to “load” or “restore” that previous page which causes the pause.

    If this happens, stop all interactions for one second and it will work again. This is a safari bug

    Are you on Android?

    Doesn’t really happen for me on iPhone… occasionally when I slide back to the feed from looking at a post that happens, but only for 1-2 seconds.

    Yea it happens to me also. If you wait a second without touching the screen it will unlock again.
