In case you missed it buried in the replies, I've done a guide to using Mastodon's new quoting feature:

➑➑️ https://fedi.tips/why-cant-i-quote-other-posts-in-mastodon

The guide covers how to quote, how to consent to being quoted, how to go back to single-click boosts etc and answers lots more quoting-related questions.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I didn’t like that my quoted tweet and the post that used it, didn’t show up in my mentions. It felt dishonest. Not sure if that was a glitch or a feature but it was distasteful. β€œHere let me use & comment on your post but leave you out of the conversation.”

What are you using to post to Mastodon?

There should be an option that lets you choose if a post can be quoted or not quoted.

Quoted posts are only supposed to show if this option has been used to give permission to quote.

Also, if you are quoted it should show up in your notifications.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I think I use the web app. That must be the issue. Thanks for the info. I’ll get it properly installed when I’m less exhausted LoL

Ahhh wait a minute... I just saw that your server hasn't updated to the current version of Mastodon that allows quoting.

However, it might have a general setting that allows other people to quote you, which was a temporary stop-gap when the developers first started testing quoting.

If the setting is there, it would be under
βš™βš™οΈ Preferences > Other > Who can quote, you can switch it off by setting it to "just me" and then saving changes.
