Apparently Threads has also implemented a post quote feature.

I say “apparently” because posts seen through fedi-link only have “RE:” followed by *absolutely nothing*, but if you use the Threads app and open the same post, it has the expected embedded (quoted) post.

Not sure where the breakdown is, but I’m betting that Threads is not using the same APIs as native Mastodon instances.

Driving me nuts, but getting those folks to abandon Threads for a true Mastodon instance just won’t happen: “but my followers!”

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://vmst.io/users/millardjk/statuses/115679992668472726 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
