why is it so difficult select text from posts?

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...

vanveen,

I use Voyager, but there’s not any option to select text but cumbersome(see below). I just can’t heavy-tap, select and copy. And even when I do that operation of tapping high on the left hand side of the screen and little menu appears, I tap on select text, and sometimes I can select only the title of the article, not the text.

vanveen,

Sorry, which app is it? I use Voyager, that is graphically impeccable but a bit abstruse.

vanveen,

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.

vanveen,

🤦‍♂️ Ok, I expected to create this mini chaos. I am not particulary acute, but I normally tend to figure out, while using a client, how to select and copy the a portion of text. In this case, before posting, I’ve tried some of the most obvious and intuitive solutions without any results, the only ones I’ve obtained where cumbersome and unsatisfaying.
I did not know existed so many app/clients for Lemmy. I’ve just tried 2 and this one, Voyager, is, I repeat, graphically very rich and beautiful, if compared with the previous and, also with Reddit is fun (the reddit client I used until it was shut down following that rascal Reddit did to the creator of RIF). I want to support Voyager because is by far the most beautiful app I’ve used among those said clients.
I’m sure there must be a most practical and elegant to selct and copy the text, I’ll find out and I’ll let you know, thanks for all your answer and the desire to help!

vanveen,

I checked on f-droid and Google play and I could not find Avelon
