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.

So am I really the only person to quote this so far, or are they not visible because you haven't approved and quotes yet?

Three people have quoted it so far, you can see on the "original page" for the post (more info at

Yeah I can see it too. Which means that after 100 boosts, I was the first quote. For a post about quoting, you'd think there'd be more. Have the updates just not rolled out to most servers still? I've been quote posting for months now.

I think not everyone wants to quote, or realises they can quote, as it's a very new feature
