Mastodon is great, the only thing I miss on this app is quote posts. I know they have a bad rap bc of Twitter, but every major social network has this functionality for a reason (Tumblr, LinkedIn, Facebook, IG). As a journalist, I’d love to add commentary and amplify great info, build on ppl’s points, etc. You just can’t do that the same wait with replies! Is there any chance we might get them on here?

@atomicpoet Taylor, an influencer, would really, really like the ability to quote post.

Do you want to sell her on migrating to #CalcKey ?

@GreenFire Hey @taylorlorenz, come to calckey.social. We have quotes. And you can migrate your Mastodon account here too, keeping your follower number intact. Oh, and we do post imports.

@lffontenelle @taylorlorenz @GreenFire It is indeed a thing on Calckey.

Meaning that your feed at CalcKey.Social can include the toots of people you follow on #Mastodon or elsewhere on the Fediverse right?

@GreenFire @taylorlorenz @lffontenelle Specifically, I’m talking about the option to transfer your posts from Mastodon to Calckey. 😊

Right now, Mastodon allows you to export your posts, which is handy. However, it doesn't provide the feature to import posts. On the other hand, Calckey is pretty awesome as it supports both importing and exporting. So you can easily move your content to Calckey and enjoy the best of both worlds! 🚀

Something for you to think about as you contemplate moving off of .social

As awesome as this is, the influence mastodon has just by being as big/dominant as it is shouldn't be understated.

If one moves from mastodon to calckey ... all is good. But lets say they're anxious about needing to move back to mastodon in the future? As mastodon provides no post imports, which calckey can't help, they may decide to stay on mastodon, especially somewhere like mastodon.social.

I've seen this reasoning live. It's a problem.

@atomicpoet Does Calkey/Firefish do anything special to keep old conversations linked up, or is it more like backdated reposting of all your old posts?
