You actually have multiple options. They all work for posts and comments.

  • ⋮ / View Source
  • Reply (above the text field, the source of the parent post/comment is visible and selectable)
  • ⋮ / Copy / Copy Comment Text (for a copy-all operation, obviously; you caan also copy permalinks, post titles and URLs)

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.

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?

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.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

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?

I think that tap-hold to select text and raise context menu is a function of every text-using app I've got.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

Well, looks like there is a lot of apps you are not using. For example, Messaging. Or any of the non-browser YouTube clients on Android (RVX, NewPipe, Grayjay).

[-] big_fat_fluffy@leminal.space 0 points 1 year ago

Good catch. Yes, messaging is an exception. I am not familiar with those others.
