Sometimes you don't want to be the reply guy within a post that has sparked something within you. I've quoted a post a time or two because of that.
Someone's going through something and they don't need my story to pile on their thread. I'll make a short supportive comment and a boost. Then I will screenshot the item and put my feelings into my own time line with that screen shot.
If there's a better way to do this, I'd like to learn.

Which apps are you using. I'm not seeing this in Tusky.

You just listed the apps I've never tried. LOL.

@MyWoolyMastadon @BeAware @whalecoiner in Tusky you can tap the ... under a post, copy the link, paste it into your own post to make a quote post. When reading a quote post like that, Tusky will show a preview of the post and clicking on it will keep you in your own instance so you can reply to the original.

Excellent to know! Thanks!
I like it in Tusky that you can scroll up easily. It's the only app I scroll up and prefer it that way. It's like keeping up with current stuff and not going down a rabbit hole of a time line.

In Twitter and within the browser there was Twitter decks. You could make a deck to follow an account(s). It generated columns and each colum would put a new post at top when it happened. For me it was not that intuitive. Then again I could never figure out Twitter lists as easily as I did on Mastodon.
Decks was really good at keeping you up to date with a hashtag as it happened.
Had friends in the path of a couple of hurricanes and it was nice getting a live updates for the area.
