Not a stupid question!
Quoting is where you make a post and you can see another post within it.
For example I'm going to quote your post within this reply:

@FediTips oh I see. I read your description but I am not able to do. Maybe it doesn’t work on an iPhone? I can’t select quote when I press the boost button.

@FediTips Hello, do you know what happened with Audon space?

@FediTips Hello, do you know what happened with Audon space?
I don't directly but it hasn't been developed in two years. The source code is at https://codeberg.org/namekuji/audon if anyone wants to carry on development.

@FediTips Why should I quote a post?
You don't have to, and you don't have to be quoted, it's all optional
Many people find quoting useful beacuse it means people can see the post you're talking about without having to click through, and you can quote stuff without having to use your own character limit on copying what it says.

What are you using to access Mastodon?
The feature is totally new, so many of the apps don't have it yet. However they should introduce it soon.
The web interface has it right now, as the web interface generally gets new features first. If you want to try it out you can log into your server's website at https://mastodon.world

@FediTips I use Metatext, mayb that’s the reason.

Ahh, Metatext hasn't been updated in several years I'm afraid.
You might want to switch to another app anyway, for example Ice Cubes, Mona or Ivory? These are all being maintained and updated.
Also you might want to follow @Feditext which is a community attempt to restart development on Metatext

@FediTips I didn’t like that my quoted tweet and the post that used it, didn’t show up in my mentions. It felt dishonest. Not sure if that was a glitch or a feature but it was distasteful. “Here let me use & comment on your post but leave you out of the conversation.”

What are you using to post to Mastodon?
There should be an option that lets you choose if a post can be quoted or not quoted.
Quoted posts are only supposed to show if this option has been used to give permission to quote.
Also, if you are quoted it should show up in your notifications.

@FediTips I think I use the web app. That must be the issue. Thanks for the info. I’ll get it properly installed when I’m less exhausted LoL

Ahhh wait a minute... I just saw that your server hasn't updated to the current version of Mastodon that allows quoting.
However, it might have a general setting that allows other people to quote you, which was a temporary stop-gap when the developers first started testing quoting.
If the setting is there, it would be under
️ Preferences > Other > Who can quote, you can switch it off by setting it to "just me" and then saving changes.
