If you see a post you want to share but you want to add a Content Warning (CW), it is now very easy to do this:

1. Go to the post you want to share
2. Quote the post (on the web interface click
🔁🔁 Boost and then "Quote")
3. Add a CW to your own post, the one that appears above the post being quoted. This will hide everything in your post including the quoted post.

This used to be impossible, but since Mastodon added quoting it also allows adding CWs to posts you want to share.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services are the original posters notified of quote boosts or not? I've asked specifically about Mastodon to Mastodon, and some answers said no. Some said yes. No one I talked with knew if it happens in one way or another in specific conditions.

Yes they are notified, they get a notification similar to what they would get if their post was boosted or favourited.

This is only if people are using the quote feature, it doesn't notify people if it's some unofficial method such as screenshots etc.
