Long-tap on comment text should display text selector (lemmy.world)

Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.

Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

I use the long press for comment collapse feature extensively and removing it would break my user experience, maybe this can be an alternative option for long press but I definitely need the existing functionally to stay put.

It could be a long tap on the space to the right of the comment timestamp.

There should definitely be a way to select the text of a comment.

Part of the issue is that three dot option is pushed off screen for me in very nested comments (like yours). I can only see it comments closer to the root.

It is also nicer to be able to select which text you want to copy.
