On a similar note, by mobile lemmy client won't let me copy test. Can't even select it.
If you are using Voyager you can hold down on the comment or hit the three dot button and you'll get a menu that gives you a "select text" option. I was annoyed by that until I found it.
I eventually found it as well. I'm still a bit annoyed. It's not very convenient.
I can do this on my phone and it's easier than the select text button
still annoying though
Which one?

You actually have multiple options. They all work for posts and comments.
How did you not notice? Also, it's expected behavior that you can't just copy text from the comment view, and making ot work with rendered Markdown would be difficult.
Those are rather awkward options. Standard functionaliy is preferable, even with loss of markdown.
I think it's a detail that the dev just hasn't yet addressed.
This is not standard functionality, dude. Very few Android apps make comments etc. selectable in the default view.
Most people prefer swipe gestures and hold-for-context-menu, and Markdown rendering is important. Have you tried to follow a table in non-rendered MD?
Yikes 😆
They might be new to Lemmy, the account is less than 2 weeks old... but I always snoop around the options of apps soon after I install them. My phone can't send an ICBM launch order so it's usually fine but I don't know about theirs.
I'm the same. Always looking to get the full experience out of stuff I use.
lol what, is this a thing?
Also curious.
