It’s an older iPad and the website doesn’t work on the browser. I don’t think there is an ios 12 app for Lemmy. The website looks like the CSS and JavaScript didn’t load, but after multiple tries, it’s the same.

Any ideas?

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

      Firefox on iOS uses WebKit engine. If the issue is engine dependent, will be maintained.

      A workaround for next times would be testing Lemmy in GNOME Web (formerly Epiphany browser) or which should give the same experience as Safari in WebKit compatibility.

      Edited: Other option would be testing on Nyxt if wanted.

      Nyxt can be used with WebKitGTK optionally as showed in https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/blob/master/documents/README.org#gtk-dependencies.

      https://caniuse.com/ also helps a lot sometimes as well as MDN documentation about compatibility every time.

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

          Well, the reply was more to Dessalines than you.

          In your case, you can check a desktop browser using WebKit or WebKitGTK (QtWebKit is not good testing by now until it is up-to-date) to check if the issue happens and the console.

      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.

          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.
