What is a "retoot" on Mastodon? I keep seeing it mentioned, but there doesn't seem to be such an option.

@customdesigned You're on Qoto, and here is the 'quote' button (the " symbol below posts) which is basically a retoot.

@customdesigned Neat. Just keep in mind that this is not a proper reply to the toot you quoted. For that you should use the normal reply button. They won't get notified (unless you add a mention to them in your quote), and the threading gets broken up. The quote is more meant to put that post in the spotlight with you adding commentary.
