Basically anything I copy won’t paste into the app. The exception is when I copy a link from an app like YouTube and paste it directly into Connect. But if I paste the same link into a notes app and copy the url from there, nothing happens when I try to paste in Connect.

I’m on a Galaxy S9, Android version 10.

    Just copied your message from the post menu and posted in the text box.

    Yeah, it seems I can copy/paste from/to Connect just fine, just not from most other apps into Connect. It makes me wonder if Connect copies text as markdown, because one of the only other apps I can use to copy into Connect is Obsidian, which is a markdown-based notes application.

    I wish it was just the keyboard, but I swapped Samsung’s keyboard out for Google’s and still can’t paste. Honestly surprised it’s not a more common issue. I’ll keep trying things and post back here if anything changes. I can live with copying things into Obsidian before bringing them here as a workaround, but ideally we can find root cause, so future less tech-savvy users aren’t dissuaded from using lemmy.

      I just posted and article into connect and it did have some weird NL CR behavior in a couple spots.

      HOW TO SURVIVE THE HEATWAVE:

      1. Stay hydrated.
      2. Have an ice cream cone.
      3. Dismantle the fossil fuel industry which is literally burning the planet for the short term profit of a vanishingly small capitalist class.
      4. Wear loose clothing.
