   Good morning! If you’re on mastodon.social (or another server running nightly builds) you can begin quoting posts in your posts (quooting?) starting today. Remember, you control whether you can be quoted, and call always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!

     @GossiTheDog @Gargron We are targeting next month for the 4.5 release, we need a bit of time to ensure there are no big issues reported now that we enabled it on mastodon.social, then we will release 4.5.0-beta1 (hopefully at the end of this month)

     @Gargron I guess an update for the official Android app is in the works then.

     I came to absolutely despise that feature on Twitter.

     But this level of control over it makes it a very good implementation.

     @Gargron So it now takes two clicks to boost. You need to add quote somewhere else, it's really bed where it is. Should be in the "reply" area, surely?

     @pa27 Hold down shift while pressing the boost button to skip the choice and boost directly.

     @Gargron Ok, thanks, that's a bit better. But still messy. Still seems the wrong place to me, especially as >9/10 posts on the "trending" feed say "you are not allowed to quote this post" anyway!

     @Gargron hm, the "boost" and the "favorite" are clickable and I can see who boosted and favouroted. But this seems not to work (on this post) for quotes. Bug or feature?

     @GossiTheDog @Gargron As this is a very high profile feature, we are trying to minimise the time where some users have it while some others dont. We are not rushing things, but we planned from the start to release a stable version asap once we are confident it all works

     @aslakr You can start your reply, then go to the post you want to quote, and press the boost button then quote. Same for edits.

     We will make this easier in a future version by allowing you to paste a link, detect it’s a quotable post, and offer to transform it into a quote (but this is technically complex, so we will launch without it for now)

     @renchap Are there any plans a interface for making a quote in a reply/thread? Or editing older posts which for the moment uses links but could have been a quote?

     @GossiTheDog @Gargron

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     May I suggest:

     Instead of “Quote Toots” = “Quoots”

     “Toot Quotes” = “Toques”

     “toot” was withdrawn, “wooly” was erased from history, and yet @Gargron makes up the term “quooting”. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it :blobcat:

     @Gargron

     something that wasn't clear to me and perhaps of interest to others about #quoteposts

     i knew this:

     in your preferences you can change the setting to allow #quoteposting on your toots globally. to anyone/ followers only/ or just yourself

     but i didn't know you could also do it per post

     so you might allow anyone to quote post you, as a general policy

     but then on one particular post of yours you may disallow a #quotepost as you see fit
