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 can always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!

@Gargron "Quooting" (quote posts) only applies to Public Posts correct...? 🤔
isn't it a quote boost?
@Gargron It should be mentioned, that all quote options are only applicable for Mastodon. All other Fediverse platforms, that have implemented quoting since the beginning of the Fediverse, will be unaffected. This is the great diversity of the Fediverse. 🤘🏻
@Gargron
How does this work with phone apps? Will there have to be a new release of each app to accommodate this?
So a user's posts really are called toots, then? 😉🤷♂️
@Gargron i am running nightly but theres no qouting option.
@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?
@Gargron good morning Eugen! im very new to this app, and i dont know how to use it yet, but im gonna cpmment here, cheers!
@Gargron
I's done, all quotes made! :D
@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?
@Gargron
I came to absolutely despise that feature on Twitter.
But this level of control over it makes it a very good implementation.
How is this done?
@Gargron I guess an update for the official Android app is in the works then.
@Gargron quoots for my toots, sugar for ma honey. 🎶
@Gargron Big big thanks! 
Hey @ivory when can we expect the update supporting 'proper' quotes? 4.5.0 is around the corner!
@Gargron Oh dear lord. The feature Fedi doesn't need ready to weaponised by the keyboard warriors.
@Gargron What? I thought that was one feature they were _never_ going to add.
@Gargron Ah, the supreme kai of Mastodon speaks. Seriously though, thanks for this, can't wait to see it implimented on my instance.
@Gargron Thanks! You're doing an amazing job!
@Gargron is there a rough ETA for stable release? I’m going to tell people if they ask later in the year 😅
@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)
