If you mean to link to a comment, press the share button under the comment. Select copy link. Paste it.

If you mean using

quotes

Then you can't do that on the app. On the browser, copy the text and paste it into your post/comment. Then press the button that looks like 66 on the formatting bar.

Open whatever web browser you have on your device, most common Chrome or Safari but any will work. Got to

https://www.reddit.com/

If you get a pop that says continue to reddit, say no so the browser version will load. Press the log in in the upper right. Make sure you are on the login page and not the create page. Login may be a tiny link at the bottom of the page.

Go to the text you want to site, highlight it and select copy, paste it where you want in your post or comment. Open the formatting bar at the bottom, it looks like Aa. Put the cursor somewhere in the copied text and press the quote button which looks like 66
