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 @NatureMC@mastodon.online I don't understand the reasoning behind having posts that are public but designated as not quotable. According to various articles about the feature, the intention is to prevent dunking, but can't determined dunkers just screenshot and/or link to public posts instead of quoting them? I can't be the first person to have thought of this, but I'm not seeing much discussion about it. Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated.
