@ayo @elk Stopped using it when quote boosts come out on the official app but aren't here.

@Ekyllier @ayo @elk but they are?? Or is that just the canary branch on main.elk.zone?
Show threadBlake Reilly | Ekyllier20h ago
@haayman @ayo @elk I'll have to test it again but the last time I used Elk, I couldn't quote-boost and I waited a while for that to arrive but never did for me.

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk I've tested it and there doesn't seem to be a quote feature yet. Moreover, Elk still doesn't display quoted posts within posts. Instead of a nested view, it's just RE: with a plain URL.

@katzentratschen @Ekyllier @ayo @elk it does? I've seen it. I'm on mobile at the moment, so I can't make screenshot. And there's a quote button.
Did you test it on main.elk.zone?=

@haayman @katzentratschen @ayo @elk So I've just jumped on my computer now to check and unless it's crazy hidden, I don't see it 😅

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk For example this post. Looking at it via elk.zone it's just a plain text link.

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk (And I cannot find a quote button either. 🧐)

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk For the record: I am using it on mobile, more specifically Safari on iOS 26.3.1 (a).

@Ekyllier @haayman @ayo @elk Woohoo. Switching to main.elk.zone did the trick.

@katzentratschen @haayman @ayo @elk Ahh, that did fix that issue. I am assuming this is a pre-release stream?

@Ekyllier @katzentratschen @ayo @elk the main program is indeed very much behind the canary build
Show threadArjen Haayman8h ago
@Ekyllier @katzentratschen @ayo @elk sometimes there's a bug on the canary branch, but usually they're quick to respond to bug messages. Haven't been able to fix anything myself unfortunately
