How do I quote a post in a reply within a conversation thread?
If you want to quote a post within a reply without creating a new thread, you can do this by copy-pasting a link to the post you want to quote at the bottom of your reply:
Go to the post you want to quote in a reply.
Click ⋯ on the post you want to quote and select Copy Link to Post.
Go to the thread where you want to do a quote as your reply. Write your reply and paste the link you copied in step 2 at the bottom of your reply, then publish the reply.https://fedi.tips/why-cant-i-quote-other-posts-in-mastodon
I have yet to see it in action or elsewhere, can you backup your claim, maybe a screenshot or video step by step on how this can be done properly? Copy Link only shows as a link in replies within threads, not actual quote post.
Not rendering quote post:
p.s. Here are screenshots of this in the website interface.
Are you using an app of some kind? Not all the apps support quoting properly yet as it's a recent feature.

Here's an example, all I've done is copy-paste the link into my reply:
@FediTips So this only works on desktop web UI (a computer with fullscreen layout) where it retains a quote, scrolling and point it into a reply?
This fails on mobile web UI and "desktop mode" because the compost input has no room to scroll and point it to? Even as janky as it is on mobile web/desktop mode, it will briefly retain the quote post in the compose input and trying to point it to a reply somehow clears the compose input. Is this the case?

What do you mean by "trying to point it to a reply somehow clears the compose input"?
How are you trying to "point it to a reply"?
Normally replies are done by clicking the reply button below the post you want to reply to, then writing the reply. You would then paste the link of the post you want to quote.
This feature should work on the web interface in both desktop and mobile. It should also work on all apps that support it.

That works fine, the quoted post is visible here.

So I made a thread with multiple videos explaining it and you still don't get it?Do you even test? There are differences between mobile web UI and actual desktop web UI, one renders the other doesn't.
It is currently not possible to quote a post in a reply within a conversation thread on mobile web UI, period. On desktop fullscreen display, you can.

@FediTips It's literally in the quote. https://infosec.exchange/@darkpixel/115949359347481982

That quote appears to me just as a post saying "please ignore"
I didn't know you wanted me to look at it, there's no link in that post.

I have tested it on an iPhone with the web interface, it worked fine when replying with a quote. It displayed correctly.
I also tested with the mobile web UI triggered on a desktop PC by shrinking the window, it also worked fine.
I am not sure what else you want me to test?
