"Copy" URL on Mastodon pages do not seem to copy the text #190

Go to a Mastodon user's page (without logging in to a Mastodon account if you have one): https://mastodon.social/@nocontexttrek
Click on the "Follow" button
It will bring up a dialog box that will have you "Copy" the user's URL in order to follow that user on your own instance. (Yes, it's a convoluted way to follow a user, not on your server/instance)

The copy button doesn't seem to actually copy the URL.
Manually selecting the URL and copying does work as expected.

Off topic: Do you have a Mastodon account?

@ziggyb1013
I think this issue is the same as the copy button issue in Github. Android's WebView does not support some web features (e.g., copy through navigator.clipboard.writeText()).

No, I haven't created Mastodon account yet, although I already downloaded it on my phone. :D

Oh weird omission on Android.

Well if you do join mastodon, please announce. I've stopped using Twitter due to all the drama over its new policies.
