#QT #Mastodon #HowTo

People wanting QTs for "good" reasons, so they can add a comment to what they're boosting, just haven't learned how we've been doing it here all along, without the need for a QT function.

How it works:
1) Reply to the post you want to QT with a comment, such as "Boosting so my followers can also respond to this!" My opinion is ..."

2) Boost your REPLY. Your followers will see it in their timeline. When they click on it they'll see the OP above your reply.

Done! 🙂

Ooof, this thread got long, but another use case came up, and I wonder what people might say about alternatives.

Someone asked about how to boost an image post but add alttext if the original posted didn't include it.

I was thinking, this is a great use for QT. Anyone have a solid workaround, though?
