magiclike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de

can someone please quote this post for me just to see what happens on my end?

magiclike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de

huh interesting none of these quotes were formatted as such, just the usual "RE: $url"

sodiboo@gaysex.cloud

@MagicLike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de @moof@cupoftea.social @hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus oh this is because my instance is running an outdated version of Sharkey.

i'm on 2025.4.2

latest is 2025.4.3

Improved interoperability of quotes with Mastodon and other software that implements fep-e232 and/or fep-044f.

mastodon's quotes aren't compatible with what misskey was doing before, but because mastodon is mastodon, they get to do whatever and we have to bend over backwards to be compatible, even if our version already worked fine.

magiclike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de

@sodiboo @moof @hannah urghh it probably is just that

chloe@catwithaclari.net

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @moof@cupoftea.social @MagicLike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de @hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus yeah where's that hazelnoot post

for maximum compat we need to send masto style quotes to everyone except mastodon

@sodiboo @MagicLike @hannah @moof lowkey what they did is better though.

alexia@starlightnet.work

@MagicLike @sodiboo @hannah @moof yes there is interop issues but conceptually what they did is better

hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @MagicLike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de @sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @moof@cupoftea.social How exactly if one might inquire? /genq

sodiboo@gaysex.cloud

@MagicLike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de @moof@cupoftea.social @hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus moonserver.yorha.nexus is on the even older 2025.2.3 and cupoftea.social is... Mastodon v4.4.0-beta.2+cots+glitch, which as far as i can tell, cots means "cup of tea social" so it's their own fork of Glitch which implements mystery quoting?

@hannah @MagicLike @sodiboo @moof

they are the first widespread implementation of any kind of interaction controls; One can detach quotes and prohibit them from being created. This is also where the concept of "approving" a quote comes from. It also lays the groundwork for wider adoption of things like i.e reply- and other interaction-controls.

@sodiboo @moof @hannah I don't really know, but as of rn mastodon vanilla and all the soft forks can only receive quotes as a experimental feature (I am running chuckya and turned that on)

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @MagicLike@soc.sekundenklebertransportverbot.de @sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @moof@cupoftea.social @hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus isn't it implemented kinda poorly? e.g. a dead server will not be quotable at all

alexia@starlightnet.work

@ielenia @MagicLike @sodiboo @hannah @moof

a dead server won't be quotable as the origin server, or rather the user on it, cannot approve the quote.

That said, the FEP defines ways to alter what quotes are allowed, and it would be very trivial to set the default to allowing everyone ← Which is what I believe mastodon will end up doing.

AS SUCH, it's only unquotable if a user previously decided to make it so.
