Is there a way to quote post #Piefed posts from Mastodon yet? If not, why not?

@rimu are there plans to allow Piefed posts/comments to be quotable from Mastodon, or other fedi software that support the new consent based style of quote posting?
@liaizon It's not something I've paid any attention to.
I'd be fine with hardcoding PieFed to make every post always quotable. Do you know off the top of your head what JSON I need to add to the activity?
@rimu heres the FEP for it https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/044f and someone like @silverpill or @trwnh would probably be a better person to explain what is necessary
@liaizon @rimu @silverpill you need to handle incoming activities, but your response can be dynamic taking in uris of quoted object and quoting object. i think someone was talking about implementing a stamp generator as an endpoint using query parameters -- you could include that in your response
@trwnh That was probably me. My thread on that is here: https://fietkau.social/@julian/115516388407019413
@silverpill suggested getting the approach added to the FEP text itself, but I haven't written it down cleanly anywhere else yet.
@rimu If you want any assistance getting this added to PieFed, I should be able to help with architecture or code. Would be interesting to see a bigger implementation of this in the wild than @DailyRucks.
@trwnh @liaizon @silverpill If I just put
```
'interactionPolicy': {
'canQuote': {
'automaticApproval': ['https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public']
}
}
```
on all PieFed's outgoing `Note`s, there won't be any incoming activities, right? No point asking for permission if it's already been given, surely.
@rimu @liaizon @silverpill no, you still need to respond to the activities. the bit you quoted is only a hint so clients know whether their activity will be accepted

@liaizon I just tried quoting one of my PieFed posts on Mastodon and it says "You are not allowed to quote this post" next to the quote post option.
@liaizon Mastodon requires some kind of complicated "approval stamp" before showing a preview of a post. Most fedi developers ignore that
@silverpill @liaizon That should only be required if the server the quoted post is from supports that feature. Unless they deviated from their own FEP that is. If the approval process is not supported, it is allowed to go through.

@liaizon I guess the answer would be no, and I assume it's because QTs in Mastodon are permission-based (there's a flag that determines whether it's allowed or not)) and other platforms do not support that.
