Nice to see @mekkaokereke and @kissane, and the rest of the community getting a shout-out for their involvement with helping bring quote posts to Mastodon!

"This feature has been a long time coming because we wanted to take the time to do it right. Part of that process was sharing our work and getting feedback along the way."

The long text "You are not allowed to quote this post" makes the boost pop-up too long because it doesn't wrap properly. This might get fixed in the final version, but for now, I'm changing it to a single-word message for our instance.

@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

Oh, the irony...

"This post cannot be displayed as you are not authorized to view it"

Good morning Mastodon. Quote Posts are here!

In honor of this great new feature, resurfacing this post dating back to the Twitter migration in November 2022 that has held up quite well.

Mastodon is different and much better. More a dinner party than a food fight.

Glad you are here, helping us build decentralized public social media!

Tadaaa ... we have #quotePosts on #Mastodon beginning on the big Mastodon instances! (available in Mastodon 4.5 for other instances soon).

And it's great how you can protect your posts if you don't like to be quoted: globally and even per single post. By default it's for followers only. If you want to allow quote posts for everyone, you have to change that (alt text).

As FediTips helpfully explains here, you can already set your quote posting privacy preferences ahead of the feature's release:

Also, my hope is that the Mastodon part of the fediverse can keep it together once quote posts are available, and use them responsibly and with respect for each other.

The latest Trunk & Tidbits Mastodon blog post highlights all the recent work on the upcoming quote posts.

This is really nice and something we haven't seen on any other social media platforms. Elsewhere, you can just quote someone without asking, but in the Fediverse, you need permission, and you can actually control who quotes you without having to delete your post.

It feels great to be part of something truly unprecedented.

I've just released a new nightly version of Mastodon Bird UI that supports the upcoming Quote Posts feature.

https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/releases/tag/2.3.4rc5

#MastodonBirdUI#OpenSource#QuotePosts#MastoAdmin#Mastodon#BirdUI#QuotePost

I no longer time out.

PS. We have the experimental quote feature enabled here at mementomori.social! Fixes to Mastodon Bird UI coming soon...

#MementoMoriSocial#MastoAdmin#MastodonBirdUI#Mastodon#QuotePosts

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5
