Is there a Mastodon equivalent to Twitter's "quote retweet"? I can boost a post, but I'd like to be able to boost with a comment explaining why the boost.

Suggestions?

@davemark there is no such functionality. Apparently the creators of Mastodon specifically didn't want it for reasons I don't agree with.
My instance qoto.org has quote tweet functionality. One of the reasons I like it. It works fine but people on other instances just see quoted tweets as links.
in your case the only option is to make a new toot and include a link to the original toot.
