[Request] Long press on links to open them externally (lemmy.ca)

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

I actually came here to post about a similar issue. I looked at a comment that was just a link, I long pressed expecting to see a menu akin to right click so I could copy the link, but instead it minimized the comment.

I'm loving connect so far after rif died, but this would be a great change. Personally I don't need a shortcut to hide a comment, I'll just keep scrolling

Hiding a comment or post by long press is horrible, imo. It doesn't make sense.

I've enabled the "reverse comment interactions" setting (swap tap and long-press functions) and I find it a preferable experience.

I have too, but it's still bad. I'd rather have the ability to turn it off and not just swap it.
