  • OK I just checked, on the keyboard I had to press the clipboard icon to paste. Long press didn’t initially work for some reason. After I pasted from the keyboard, long press to paste worked. Weird, must be some android quirk.

    Edit: This might help (sorry for the reddit link): https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/comments/r0m6ub/clipboard_no_longer_accessible/i15sk5n/

    OP:

    Typically, and prior to the Android 12 update, if I long-pressed or double pressed a text field, an option would come up for paste and clipboard. Now, however, the clipboard option is not showing up. I can’t seem to figure out how to re-enable this option, and as someone who used it frequently, I’d really like to have it back.

    Reply:

    Figured it out finally! Open keyboard to type and click on the little 3 dots upper right and it brings up a menu with clipboard as an option. This was frustrating!














  • literally harmless accessibility solution “abuse” because they don’t like it for whatever reason.

    Well, I am calling it “abusing the post body” because it doesn’t federate to all services. Captions (or as Lemmy calls them, alt text) does federate better as it was designed to use a more standard federation data type that Mastodon understands.

    So, using the post body for captions actually kinda is harmful in the lens of Mastodon users, and other federated services that don’t support Lemmy’s post body.



  • Im just trying to help. The post body doesn’t federate to mastodon, so nobody there will see it. Alt text e.g. captions does though. This is one of the main reasons image captions were added to Lemmy.

    Nobody is stopping you from using both either. However is you have an accessibility concern with captions, you should definitely report is to the Lemmy devs so they know and can make the implementation better.
