correction: I couldn't add a poll or attachment to a quote post in the mastodon web client (and I'm guessing the iOS client, I think I saw this restriction somewhere in the code) but I was able to do it in my app just now, so looks like the API allows it.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://pc.cafe/users/fedicat/statuses/115226668599273190 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
