why is it so difficult select text from posts?

vanveen@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 48 points –

Good morning, English isn't my first language and it happens quie often that I need to select a good chunk of text to translate it with DeepL, why, in often cases, is impossible but select the title of an article that Lemmy's bot has summarised? I would appreciate, and I am pretty confident I am not the only one, if the operation would be much handier or possible. Thanks for reading this and for any tip or hint.

I am using Voyager, which compared to the previous client I was using is remarkable, beside this and other features that don't work in an intuitive way or maybe don't work at all.

Click on the three dots in the top left corner, then "select text".

Which phone/os are you using? I am using a Google Pixel phone and I can swipe up and see the option to select any text.
