Ok… new here: how do you quote retweet someone?

@Chl0e_Girard you can’t quote a post. That is by design. You can boost a post which will then show up in your timeline

@apinae @Chl0e_Girard Quote posting is available on qoto.org web, with little quote icons below the post. Qoto is a fork of Mastodon, so nearly all other instances do not provide this feature. I don't believe there are any apps that take qoto's fork into consideration, so the feature is only available on the web as far as I know.

@obi @apinae @Chl0e_Girard Yuito shows quote toots, but doesn't implement all QOTO's other features

@apinae @Chl0e_Girard it’s a good thing too! If you have something to add, do it in the main conversation. Otherwise, just boost.

@Chl0e_Girard @madamscientist Yes. Also, @Gargron explained in a post why he didn’t include this feature in the first place, and I tend to agree with him.

@Chl0e_Girard Here's a button overview for you. I hope it's OK I used your question as the basis. 😃 @edutooters Quoting, as others responding, is not universally available. You can find my tutorials (which reflect what I'm learning, so they're not perfect) at go.mgpd.org/feditoots
