Must be an android limitation? I can long press and select copy link on iOS. Or are you saying just auto copy it without that dialogue box?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago

Yes. iOS has a specific construct for this, but android doesn't.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Must be because I’ve never had this issue… on ios

One Android Lemmy mobile client that I used before Voyager (I don't recall which: Sync? Jerboa? Raccoon? one of them, maybe) would, on long-press of hyperlinked text, pop-up a small text field wherein the targeted URI would display, and could be tapped to follow (or just tap away from the text field to dismiss it).

It was so very useful being able to see the destination of a link without having to follow it to find out where it pointed.

I'm using Jerboa and I get little pop up on long press.

[–] jago@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you for the corroboration. πŸ‘

The default in iOS is to load a preview of the link while showing a menu with the option to copy it. If I’m copying a link, I want to sanitise it by removing utm and other tracking pox before pasting it. Automagically loading the preview prevents this for the initial request. Signal is the only app I’ve seen which does this properly, providing the β€˜copy link’ option without loading a preview.

Additionally, it would be great if there were an option which could strip tracking tags appended to URLs when composing posts. I know I’m in the minority who actively do it manually, and it could be an effective way to prevent trackers from spreading.

Oh yeah iOS sucks about as much as Android

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How long we talkin

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IDK 2 seconds?

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

6 minutes at least or you don’t even deserve it.
