Kinda a weird one: is there any way on iPhone to copy specific text from a post on Reddit without having to copy the entire comment? Seemingly every time I try and tap the comment it just hides it or I have to copy the whole thing and for the life of me do not see a way I can do that

You can click "reply" first. That will have the comment as text above your typing box and then you can select any part of it and copy. Try it with this one!
