Lemmy doesn’t work on my iPad

Try chromium based browser like brave

Unfortunately everything on the iPad is based on safari, there’s no choice 🙁

I came across this for something unrelated the other day. I might give it a go, thanks.

Did it ever work? If so maybe try this from the apple support…

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn’t restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Try clearing the browser cache: Setting App > Safari > Clear Hostory and Clear Cookies adn Data.

Also, I don’t have an iPad available but can you do this to get more info? https://mattvanderpol.com/2013/08/14/how-to-debug-javascript-or-css-on-ios/

I’m hoping to avoid a reset, maybe I’ll call that “plan B”. I’ll take a look at the debugging…

I don’t know much about safari, can you install firefox and see if you get the same issue?

@aquasteel@lemmygrad.ml

It’s the same on Firefox. Firefox on ios uses safari, rather than gecko. Also there is no JavaScript console to see errors, that I can find.

There’s also an ios client for lemmy: Remmel. But I’d be interested to know if this is affecting all ipads. I don’t have one so I can’t really test.

@aquasteel@lemmygrad.ml

It tells me I need ios 14 for that one.

Apple’s dictatorship does not allow use of other browser rendering engines on its iOS mobile platform, so iPhones and iPads basically.

I think all browsers just use safari behind the scenes. I’ll take a look though , thanks.

Have you tried Lemmur Client?

@aquasteel@lemmygrad.ml

That doesn’t show up when I search. Maybe it needs ios 13…
