    Great news. Would love to see the option to quote post Mastodon content into Piefed/the Threadiverse, but that might be too sci-fi.

    If an author of a post has enabled quoting, you’ll see an option to quote their post under a new menu accessed from the Boost button.

    Oh no, I hate this kind of interface. If I a click a button, it should do something, not open a menu.

      In principle I agree, in practice it’ll keep me from accidentally boosting which I appreciate. It’s an action that needs confirmation anyway. :)

        I can see that, I just hate the added friction. I’d rather the boost button stay as it is and quote be put into the meatball menu.

        It’s an action that needs confirmation anyway. :)

        This is a setting on your account, under ‘Appearance’. I have it off.
