Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/introducing-quote-posts/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115187078125939270

This is available to people on mastodon.online and mastodon.social now! 🎉 coming soon to other servers, when version 4.5 becomes available.

You can also find details of how to control your posts, via the animations in the blog and documentation.

Note: we've got an additional channel to send us feedback listed at the end of the blog post, if you'd like to share thoughts on this feature.

@Mastodon WTF?

Every boost is now two clicks! 🤦‍♂️

Even when I boost my own reply and there is only one option in the boost menu. 🤣

And by the way, the option I use most in the toot menu, "Edit" is off the bottom of my mobile screen.

@Mastodon Here's a suggestion: On other servers the quote just shows up as "Post unavailable" or "Post pending" - that's bad UI.
And this entire post is bad information formatting.

Put the link to the blog in the post proper, not just in the unsupported quote post.

And quote posts that are not supported should at least spit out a link to the post in question.

@androcat @Mastodon this shouldn't show as “Post pending”, and when quotes are unsupported a fallback link should be shown

@Mastodon Excellent. I love how thoughtful, considerate and user-friendly this implementation is.
