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.
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.
It’s not random, it happens when you go back and try to swipe to quickly afterwards
