Long-tap on comment text should display text selector (self.lemmyconnect)

Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.

Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.

I have requested this feature before. Either an option to select an alternate function for long press or an option to disable long press entirely. I tend to scroll slow so I often hide some comments even if I didn't mean to.

Copy text doesn't cut it because sometimes I just need to select a sentence or a link, not the full text.

This is also a problem for the post itself, not just comments.

On android, long press for text selection is standard operation.

I use the long press for comment collapse feature extensively and removing it would break my user experience, maybe this can be an alternative option for long press but I definitely need the existing functionally to stay put.

It could be a long tap on the space to the right of the comment timestamp.

There should definitely be a way to select the text of a comment.
