@tommy Just wondered this as well. Might work if you insert the link to the requested toot.
@M @tommy That's not how quoting works on Mastodon. To quote posts you need a client that supports them. Since you're using #Tusky you might like to try #Pachli (you're already familiar with the UI), which has had full quote support for a while.
