@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

[mal3aby@mastodon.smears.org]

@Edent Sadly not (at least, if I understand what the intended behaviour is!)

[tobi@dotnet.social]

@Edent Yes!
I am using the web client for a mastodon 4.4 instance (started being available in 4.4 afaik).

[ed_mcdonagh@fosstodon.org]

@Edent @jadp ah - I see the intended behaviour on the web instance (fosstodon). Previous was using the Tusky app on Android.

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@Edent viewing this toot from my instance, I get "This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted." for the embed, even though it's public and visible on your instance. Any idea what's up with that?

[derickr@phpc.social]

@Edent "This post is pending approval from the original author." as the quoted toot.

[cwilcox808@c.im]

@aburka
I get the same message.
@Edent

[steven@zeroes.ca]

@Edent "This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted."

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@Edent
"Post unavailable" in the quote rectangle.

Edit: screenshot

[edent@mastodon.social]

@jannem can you see quote posts by other users?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@steven can you see quote posts by other users?

[dandels@infosec.exchange]

@cwilcox808 @aburka @Edent For me it reads "Post unavailable", which is a new, exciting and different failure mode.

[semaj@social.lol]

@Edent on the web interface, I see “This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted.”

In Icecubes app, I don’t see anything under the post at all.

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@Edent
Yes, I can (but can't yet post them). So something seems to be wrong here.

Edit: that above is in the official android client. On the web it says "This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted."

So the same failure as the other commenters.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@semaj can you see quote posts by other users?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@neil can you see quote posts by other users?

[steven@zeroes.ca]

@Edent Huh! Apparently not!

I cannot view fully public quotes from Mastodon.social on this instance.

I could have sworn I'd seen a functioning one before, but I guess not.

[skua@mastodon.social]

@neil @Edent
Would you pls quote this post Neil?
Don't know if I get to see quote posts.

[semaj@social.lol]

@Edent yes, I think so!

[tomdewar@mas.to]

@Edent Nothing for me (I’m using Ivory on iOS)

[briansmith950@mas.to]

@Edent
Light purple block with "This post cannot be displayed as the original author does not allow it to be quoted."
So it's a yes on mas.to
