For Mastodon API developers: there is no documentation (yet) for the APIs around composing quote posts, but this will come soon.
We added documentation for displaying quote posts (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#quote), which is already supported in Mastodon 4.4 and we encourage you to support it in your clients as this will soon be available to all users.

@renchap@oisaur.com Question: If Quote Posts are visible only at v4.4.x and above, is this a legit Quote Post --> sighting <--? OK, from Bluesky, yeah, but still And this is a screenshot so it's not responsive to mouse clicks or taps...

@renchap@oisaur.com maybe this is documented and I’m missing it, but what determines if you get a Quote object vs a ShallowQuote object (that seems more indirect) for the quote property?

@renchap@oisaur.com @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online how about bot accounts? can those have default quoting on? people often like to comment on bot posted news articles while keeping context
