11 months ago Thanks for the suggestion! It mostly needs testing #686 though it will probably only support Akkoma as a start as I don't think the others report that they support quote posts without sniffing their nodeinfo
edit:
More info on what I mean: Pleroma and forks expose an extra object on /api/v1/instance that lists the features (+ extensions) they support. Take a look at https://ihatebeinga.live/api/v1/instance
Under pleroma > metadata > features, you can find a list of the features it supports, one of which is quote_posting
Misskey forks with masto api compat dont, glitch-soc doesnt (yet, https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/issues/123 (not that it's really needed atm either as it doesn't support quote posting)). The expectation is to sniff their nodeinfo to find the software an instance is running and decided based on a locally kept list on what features it supports, which is not ideal and I'm trying to avoid doing.
Describe the request
Instances running Pleroma, Misskey, or one of their forks can send quote posts that act a bit like a boost with attached text.
Tuba can display quote posts (when using an instance that supports them). Being able to send them would be nice.
