Is there a way to quote post #Piefed posts from Mastodon yet?

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@ed nope I did not at all mean Pixelfed.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@liaizon I guess the answer would be no, and I assume it's because QTs in Mastodon are permission-based (there's a flag that determines whether it's allowed or not)) and other platforms do not support that.

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@liaizon Mastodon requires some kind of complicated "approval stamp" before showing a preview of a post. Most fedi developers ignore that

[phnt@fluffytail.org]

@silverpill @liaizon That should only be required if the server the quoted post is from supports that feature. Unless they deviated from their own FEP that is. If the approval process is not supported, it is allowed to go through.

[silverpill@mitra.social]

@phnt @liaizon Maybe it can show quotes created on other platforms, but it doesn't allow creating quotes.

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@rimu are there plans to allow Piefed posts/comments to be quotable from Mastodon, or other fedi software that support the new consent based style of quote posting?

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@rimu heres the FEP for it https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/044f and someone like @silverpill or @trwnh would probably be a better person to explain what is necessary

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@liaizon @rimu @silverpill you need to handle incoming activities, but your response can be dynamic taking in uris of quoted object and quoting object. i think someone was talking about implementing a stamp generator as an endpoint using query parameters -- you could include that in your response

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@rimu @liaizon @silverpill no, you still need to respond to the activities. the bit you quoted is only a hint so clients know whether their activity will be accepted

[trwnh@mastodon.social]

@rimu @liaizon @silverpill it's like how a Follow might be automatically Accepted but you can't assume it will until you actually receive the Accept

[julian@activitypub.space]

@trwnh@mastodon.social that's ridiculous. Why does every other AP service have to create activity handlers just to get a baseline permissive behaviour?

I understand the consent respecting aspect, but if the behaviour is "allow all", it should be as simple as a flag.

Too bad I didn't pay enough attention to the FEP draft.
