#QuoteToots
Here’s the contrast: Toot! vs Ice Cubes.
Update: scroll down the thread and you’ll see what @tootapp has planned, which is great news from a very cute app.
Here’s the link to the post that shows what @tootapp has in mind for #QuoteToots display.
So #QuoteToots have come to @IceCubesApp and display beautifully, but not yet to Toot! app where they also don’t really display in a functional way. It’s often this way.

It’s worth remembering that your #QuoteToots may not yet display for others in the way you expect. The app culture is always catching up. But honestly @IceCubesApp has done a nice job.

Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:
All you need to quote a toot is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".
But pasting a link also works, automatically. If the author allows to be quoted, the toot will appear in the compose field. If not, it'll be just a simple, plain link.
In the end, both paths lead to the same destination: to quote a toot. And, if the author allows quotes, this will generate a notification to them.
So it's important to know that this also works with private mentions, aka DMs.
Even if you don't mention the author's profile (user@instance.tld), if you simply paste a link to their post, and they allow quotes, they will be notified.
If they don't allow quotes, it'll be just a simple and plain link, and no notification will be sent to them.
So be careful not to end up mentioning someone in a DM without the intention of doing so.
They'll be able to see the DM content where the link was pasted, as if you'd have mentioned them explicitly. But it was just a quoted toot.
Let's see what they say about this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/36685
There are now two pull requests proposing changes to quote toots inside private mentions (DM).
When composing a DM, pasting a link will not create a quote: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/36690
When composing a DM, it'll not be sent if it quotes a toot from someone not mentioned: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/36689
If approved, the changes will be merged into Mastodon's source code.
