@klillington great advice especially “One deliberate design choice on mastodon is that there is no analog of “quote retweeting”: you can either boost someone else’s toot and you can post your own. You can’t share someone else’s post to your own followers with your commentary added.” So the only way you can give people a flavour of a post/ article is to reply (like this). 😊
