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.

    Someone else pointed out to me that if you long press on the link (not the comment itself) that it will open up the exact menu that I am talking about. It’s a little annoying, personally I wish that this was the default behavior, but it beats opening the YouTube app every 5 seconds.
