I can’t copy and paste inside the Bluesky app. I’m sure it’s intentional but I’m unsure why or what behavior it’s trying to shape, limit, or encourage. Any thoughts?

I just copied your text “I can’t copy and paste inside the Bluesky app. I’m sure it’s intentional but I’m unsure why or what behavior it’s trying to shape, limit, or encourage. Any thoughts?”
Interesting, I use mostly the desktop site so I didn't know this
You can copy text by tapping the three dots add then "Copy post text"
You can probably paste if your keyboard app has a draft/clipboard feature like gboard has
That’s odd - I haven’t had this issue with text or pics. Have you tried to duplicate the problem on a different device or platform? I’m not with Bluesky btw I’m just a fan of the show.
Oh hang on it works if you copy before hitting reply. But you can't copy once you are in the reply page.

I just copy-and-pasted that from the iOS app. Looks like maybe you can only copy text from a skeet that is in “focused” mode.
Dunno, it works for me on Android. If you're looking for a way to get something from a post you're viewing, there should be a "Copy post text" option in the 3-dots menu if regular select/copy doesn't work

Works for me on iOS

And pasted it here. On Bluesky app for iOS.

1) I’ve been able to paste in Bluesky for a while but can’t now
2) I’ve had other copy/paste issues lately in other apps that I think are from an iOS update
3) If they disabled copy/paste, the “paste” should disappear… but it stays there and just doesn’t work
