@MastodonEngineering How do I quote posts in Android? Cannot find the functionality. Thought long-pressing the boost button would be the way to go.

@individual8 @MastodonEngineering it should work with the latest Android app, by simply pressing the boost button.

@renchap @MastodonEngineering Ah, that's how it works. Simple! Maybe the long-pressing menu should also include quote, instead of just "Boost" and "View boosts"?
