   When we released post editing for #Mastodon, we first released a version that supported processing and displaying edits incoming from other servers, before releasing a version that flipped a switch allowing anyone to make edits. We're taking an identical approach with quote posts, as the upcoming 4.4 version of Mastodon will begin displaying quote posts from other servers and software. Once this is widely deployed on the network, 4.5 will bring the long awaited ability to quote posts.

     @Gargron This is awesome. I'll often see something but want to give my own take on it so I'll have to manually copy and paste the link into a new post, which seems duplicative. Really looking forward to this, 🙂

     Hi Paul,thanks.
     I have not noticed any relevant "layout change" regarding quotes, neither in my app, nor in the browser version.

     Apart from that, why does @Gargron write, "...as the upcoming 4.4 version of Mastodon will begin displaying..." Its tempus clearly relates to the future, not the present...🤔

     @HistoPol Mastodon.Social, your instance, has been on 4.4 for a long time. You should have already been seeing them displaying from other servers... Curious if you had been.

     @Gargron sometimes I wonder what can we learn from #Twitter or even #Bluesky in terms of social medias like it.. quote posting, I think I'm fine with it, I just saw that it *could* be worse if implemented like in Twitter, I do hope that at least, since switching microblogging IS easier than like #Youtube or #Twitch it can finally build a sizable space in the internet.

     Is Quoting Posts a way? Yeah, I think so, but also like.. a bunch, I can't remember it on the top of my head.. Welp, that's life

     Can you go to your profile settings and see if the option to turn off quote posts is there? Curious if it is, esp if you aren't seeing any

     @paul We bump the version as soon as the previous version gets a Release Candidate, so mastodon.social displayed a 4.4 version since last October.

     Ingesting remote quote posts is behind an experimental flag that has not yet been enabled on mastodon.social, but it should be very soon.

     @HistoPol 4.4 has been out for a while in nightly and now beta. You are on it now and have been for several months as test subjects on Mastodon.Social. Other instances installed it, also. I've been meaning to install it for a couple months. I'm going to install it a little later today since it was released today in beta and not nightly.

     I was just curious if their was a noticeable change.

     @Gargron

     I think the tempus is actually referring to the actual official version release for all instances and is simply software dev speak.

     OK, I've verified the settings.
     They already were as Paul posted them. I must've done this weeks ago.

     Notwithstanding, I am not aware of any quote posts.

     Could either of you pls. post 2-3 screenshots of examples?

     @paul @HistoPol well it's not the actual 4.4, it's just a nightly of the branch that will eventually become 4.4 so it does not have all the features that the final 4.4 will. Of course another reason you might not be seeing it yet even in the case that the code has been added is that it might still be disabled on the instance for now.

     @HistoPol still a little short on examples but here is one of someone quote posting their own older post and another where the quoted person has probably not enabled the BlueSky bridge.

     It might also be that only these self-quotes work for now because I've not really been able to find different examples and some #quoteposts that show up fine from Threads on Sharkey only show the "pending approval" on mastodon.social.

     @Sarahp Target for 4.4.0 is end of month (or first week of July).

     4.5 is "when we finished fully implementing quote posts", which I hope will be September or October at the latest.

     Maybe a stupid question but how do you usw the Quote Funktion actively?

     a) Go to the target text's post, highlight the text, then somehow activate the quote function, or,

     b) Create a new post, somehow circle back to the text that you want to quote, initiate the quote function?

     I couldn't find either alternative...?

     @HistoPol Mastodon 4.4 only support creating quote posts that are created by other software.

     You can not yet quote other posts from Mastodon, this will come later in the summer.
