I would love for a convenient way to copy a user’s name, like gofsckyourself@lemmy.world, from a user’s comment or post.

Similarly, I would like to be able to copy the community’s name from a post, comment, or the community page itself, like !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

    The function does exist, just a bit buried (and with different names?)

    From a post, press the 3-dot Menu button, press Copy, and then Copy Username.

    From a comment, tap the comment to reveal the comment actions, press the 3-dot Menu button, press Copy, and then press the Copy Permalink button that has an icon of a person next to it (I am assuming that is supposed to read as Copy Username like the option from the post)

      Ah I see. “Copy permalink” does do that, but it’s just named poorly and relies on the icon to convey that it’s for a user. It’s not a permalink to their profile.

        Yeah, I think the button is probably mislabeled.

        The “permalink” label is also just a holdover from Reddit; with there being two separate link standards on Lemmy, I think it’d be nice if the app differentiated…but that’s a separate topic entirely!
