#qoto peeps, is it possible to edit posts on this instance, as opposed to "delete and re-draft"? I'm not seeing the edit option anywhere.
@MichaelPorter
Edit is from a newer version of the Mastodon software, #Qoto doesn't run it yet. An update is planned (for this and other features like language tagging), but no specific timelines yet.
@digital_carver Ah, okay. I noticed that we were on an older version. @freemo is this because the software needs tweaking to accommodate the longer character limits, etc.? Or are you anti-bleeding-edge? 😄
(One of my teaching colleagues used to work in industry and he had a personal policy of always running software that was a couple of versions old—let other people get bit by the bugs!)

Its not an older version. QOTO is a fork with many unique features, as such our version has no relevance relative to the mastodon version.
@freemo @digital_carver Ah okay. The listing on instances.social mislead me as it has a column for "version" but doesn't factor in forked versions. Will qoto have an edit function at some point?
@freemo @digital_carver Thanks for all the work you are doing!
@MichaelPorter
Yes in the very near future. Its one of the few things mainline has we done and we are pulling it in.
