    @box464 if approved on Bonfire's side, Mastodon should recognize it… probably takes time? 🙈There's no approve/deny UI/flow/API on Mastodon's side. I've asked & got this response "we included support for it in case someday another software wants it" and "(but we think it's not a good idea, as it means your quote can be displayed as pending for a long time, which is not ideal in a timeline-based network)" — which I think make sense. By the time it's approved, it's probably too old to be read

    @toddsundsted Having said that — quote-posts existed on the Fediverse years before Mastodon implemented them. For example, Misskey and its forks have had quote-posts for years! (Other Fediverse software, too.)And, they work differently than Mastodon-style quote-posts.So, if you wanted to support quote-posts, you would also have to (explicitly or implicitly) decide on what style of quote-post to support. Mastodon-style? Misskey-style? Etc?

    @julian @box464 There's actually already an Android app that allows all this: Raccoon for Friendica (which actually also works for Mastodon).Raccoon for Friendica is a rather unique app, one I'm very fond of, because it perfectly illustrates how the best ideas come from the "contamination" of different environments. Here's an article about Raccoon that should be updated, which I wrote a few weeks after the app's beta release (launched in late August 2024)Raccoon for Friendica was developed by @akesiseli after he had already developed an Android client for Lemmy (Raccoon for Lemmy).When he focused on Friendica, he faced the problem of how to translate Friendica's ability to display group conversations into an app (they're quite visible on Friendica's web interface, though they don't have the clearest interface possible like Lemmy's or forum platforms like NodeBB and Discourse). He ported the "topic view" feature already present in Lemmy's apps to Friendica!Since Raccoon is an app that also works with Mastodon, @akesiseli attempted to "force" Mastodon to have the same interface, and after a few attempts, he succeeded perfectly.Raccoon for Friendica still has a few imperfections (search isn't 100% functional, it still doesn't handle resharing with quoting, and other minor glitches, and feed capture is still a bit slow compared to Tusky and Fedilab), but despite being just over a year old, it's a decidedly mature app. Most importantly, it offers group viewing features that no other app offers. And—trust me!—group viewing isn't the only new feature Raccoon has brought to a social media client!I hope the app's development continues well, although I'm a little concerned: the developer is a bit disappointed that almost no one uses his app... But this is mostly due to the fact that the app has a name that appeals to Friendica users (who are very few) and that even the most established apps for Mastodon suffer from competition from an "official" app!
