Is that how quote posts work in the mastodon environment?

@mcc @gizmomathboy that does seem like a good application, you could bring something to your audience's attention while being mindful of the particularity of your audience
Also, this web client says the post is pending original author's approval, that also seems like a good precaution

@brazmogu @gizmomathboy However, I was also previously able to get this capability by simply saying "cw uspol" and including a link. So qbs give nothing *new*.
What I actually want is not embedded quote posts; what I want is links on Mastodon that work (even if you are linking to a different server which may use AUTHORIZED_FETCH). Mastodon quote posts actually don't provide this because you can only include one per post, also unlike Twitter or Bluesky you cannot include a quote in a reply.

@gizmomathboy @brazmogu i mean it is the case that links don't work on mastodon. that is a very real problem. but again it is not a problem we solved
