@caseynewton now that a lot of clients have inline previews of links, I just started using them as un-official quote tweets…

@andreiludv @caseynewton Except using links breaks on most mobile apps, as the links go to the web interface for the original user’s instance. Just use reply with the distribution set to Public.

@bhawthorne @andreiludv @caseynewton Better yet, reply with the distribution set to public, and then boost your own reply. Like... this.

@andykm @bhawthorne @caseynewton but sometimes the point of quoting is to immediately show the toot of another person with a comment from you. replying and boosting doesn’t quite provide that functionality within the feed

@andykm @bhawthorne @caseynewton they really should just add quote-toots tbh. I also wish that @Mastodon would add at least ability to add “priority” people: those whose toots you definitely want to see first when you open the app. kinda like @overcastfm with the priority podcasts inside the playlist…
