Add text property to reshares to allow quoted reshares #82

Closed SuperTux88 closed 7 years ago

SuperTux88 commented 7 years ago

With this property the author of the reshare can add his own thoughts about the post to the reshare.

@jaywink mentioned that some time ago that he wants to use this property and I thought it is a good idea to add it to add it to the official documentation.

This will also help to solve diaspora/diaspora#4219 by adding quoted reshares to diaspora as discussed here.

SuperTux88 commented 7 years ago

As discussed via IRC, the reshare message should stay reshare-only and shouldn't be used for quoting.

It needs to be discussed if we need a new quote message (copy of the current reshare message with a text property), or if we just use the status_message message and link the quoted post there with a diaspora:// URL (#75) and start embedding posts that are linked.
