Mastodon servers running the experimental ("nightly") version of Mastodon may have quote-tooting now active.

If it is active, it should work by clicking a post's boost
🔁🔁 button, which offers the option to quote if the account has opted into quoting.

Don't worry if it's not yet active for you, this is just on experimental Mastodon as the feature is still being tested.

Quoting will be released in the next server software version (v4.5.0).

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Weird. mastodon.social is usually the first to test those things, and yet I got nothing.

Not even settings to set my defaults on that.

The settings for quoting default is under Preferences > Other if you're on the normal release version of Mastodon.

If you're on the experimental version it's in Preferences > Posting Defaults

But yeah, I tried a test account on mastodon.social and it didn't have quoting yet either. I wonder if they've restricted which accounts can quote while they're testing?

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Right.

It's on posting defaults. I read "who can quote" as "who can boost".

I need rest.
😵😵

Being unable to quote is factual, though.

Yeah, the quoting seems to be restricted to just certain accounts at the moment.
