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

Yes, Mastodon users had been requesting this for a very long time

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.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁
