When clicking on links in comments, I wish that instead of opening the link immediately it would give a sort of context menu so you can at least see where the link goes to or maybe copy/ share the link.

It’s incredibly annoying clicking on embedded links to YouTube/ other apps, getting yanked out of Boost and having to close the video, back out of YouTube, reopen Lemmy… All for a link I never would’ve opened had I been able to see it.

    Ha! So it is. I’d tried this before, but I think I was not long-tapping directly on the link because I was just collapsing the comment.

    It would be nice if there was an option to change the default behavior, as I’m too stupid to remember to long press every link I see. But that’s being a bit nitpicky.
