I am still trying hard to figure out how we could bring the usual tumblr reblogging ux onto here but none of the solutions quite work

replies are the closest but fedi doesn't usually yap in tags in replies (outside of wafrn)

quotes could work, but to display a rewoot-chain we'd have to go like…

  • load post
  • load "rewooted" (quoted) post
  • load quoted post in quoted post…
  • keep going until you reach the final post

which um…isn't particularly fast. and we'd rather keep the site operating well rather than doing stuff like this
