Okay, bonus post today! Mastodon v4.5.0 has just been released! 🥳

This brings many improvements, most significantly:

- Fetch all replies, threads are now the same for everyone no matter which server they are on. If new replies are detected in the thread you're viewing, a box will appear that lets you load them automatically.

- Quote toots, click 🔁 boost on a post and select "Quote" to use it. If the option isn't clickable, it means the person or server hasn't given permission to be quoted.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Regarding the last bit: it's the person or the instance, not just the person.

And usually the option is there, only striked out, often with a mention as to why it's not available.

Also, it'd perhaps be useful to remind people that not all software has that covered. #Tusky, for instance, still doesn't do quote posts.

"or the instance, not just the person."

Do you mean if the instance is on a certain version? Or do you mean there is a setting for switching off quoting?

I had a look round the new admin settings and can't find anything relating to it so far?

Good points, I'll add a p.s. to the post to make this clear.

Also need to explain how people can opt in or opt out of quoting 🙂
