Exactly, and link-pasting is exactly what I've done ever since I got on #Mastodon
#QuotePosting was an enormous #MoralPanic about four years ago because #Twitter had it and #Mastodon didn't and all the big techy-bro rags convinced #Gargron that he was discouraging new migrants from Twitter because Mastodon didn't have #QuotePosts
Took 'em about three years to do it, and everyone pretty much ignored quote posts when they were finally implemented, a lot because people could opt-out if they wanted and no one took them seriously
IMO, YMMV...
As I mentioned in a post a week or 2 back, the vanilla Mastodon web app is now better for most purposes than the third-party ones I've tried
(@enafore, @elk, @phanpy, happy to go into detail on why if this helps). Plus, now that I'm home I use my laptop a lot more (on mobile I tend to use native apps, which are pretty good; @moshidon, @Fedilab (?), @pachli).
Using the Mastodon web app more has helped me understand the logic behind the Quote Post feature.

I thought the same thing but eventually I realized the app isn't loading the toot correctly after posting rather than having an issue with actually quoting. Try quoting and then view your quoted post in a browser (or wait a while as, for some reason, fedilab will actually start displaying it correctly
@apps
✅ Fixed: the moved quoted button was the problem for me. I saw it now by accident.

Does anyone else have issues doing quote posts with @apps ?
It always worked, but it's not working anymore.
I already deleted and reinstalled Fedilab.
I tried the official Mastodon app, and there it worked, so it's not a problem with my account.
Asking first here before filling out the bug report tomorrow.
I can't. Mastodon's poorly-implemented Quote Posts just offers "Post pending" for this one. By the time permission is granted (by someone anywhere on the planet, asleep or not), the post is long gone. This is streaming media, not a blog.

@mastodon #QuotePosts
#Tusky F-Droid finally has quoots and unlike the Mastodon browser interface, you can click on the number of times a post has been quoted and see all those quote posts.
(I'm slowly warming up to quotes.)
