[Feature Request] Quote Boost/Repost #2510

The app called Mona on IOS allows you to repost or quote repost as a way to talk about a toot from someone else. Since Mastodon at the moment doesn't have this feature, they embed the link into the toot and show it below just like if you have a link for another website.

Ill add images to this to show what I'm referring to.

Long story short: they already implemented it. To see it live, well, try visiting my Newsmast profile via Elk at https://elk.zone/@ExpertPlus@newsmast.social . The instance I'm on supports quotes.

Or use any other Mastodon instance that has modified support for quotes, like https://qoto.org, https://is-a.cat , etc.

Other apps do this without the instance requiring custom support -- why is this a limitation for Elk?

Came here to say that I'd love to see instance-agnostic support for Quote Toots in Elk!

phan.py does it -- when you quote toot, it starts a new toot with a link to the one you are quoting. Simple but it does the job.

In all other respects I like Elk better though, would love to try to work on this feature if my skills are sufficient or support its development if a sponsoring scheme is possible.
