[Feature request] Long form screenshots (lemmy.ca)

Back in Apollo, we had a feature where you could long-press on mobile and save a screenshot with options to include usernames, number and levels of parents, and original post, amongst other things. Those were the ones I used. I also remember there was a checkbox for watermark, which defaulted to on, and which I never touched but always respected, because it never condescended to me.

Anyway, I used that feature so much that there was no Apollo without it before the ensittification.

As a user experience designer, Apollo had done a lot right that the big tech names had been doing wrong, and I’d floundered on Lemmy until the Voyager team started from that foundation.

I appreciate everything this team has done for me, but I do miss this feature. It seemed aimed straight at me, so I almost hate to bring it up, but it was beautiful and I loved it.

(I’m sorry for not saying this on Git, but I just can’t right now)

eta: you guys are the best. I love everything you’ve done. <3

Actualy, now I’m back to muscle memory rather than over-thinking it, it’s the long-press on comments I’m missing. I tend to long-press things to bring up context menus rather than trying to hit the little dots in the comment header, because I fat finger things and just wind up collapsing and expanding the comment instead. (Yes, I know I can turn that off, but that makes other interactions much worse.)

I much prefer long-press for context menus, and there’s no long-press menu for comments at all.
