Feature request: Include booster when replying to boosted post

Open johncarney opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I don't know what other Mastodon clients do, but in Twitter when you reply to a retweeted tweet, it includes the retweeted in the reply. I think it would be nice is Ice Cubes did this as well.

If this is not normal for Mastodon clients, then perhaps it could be an optional setting.

So the official Mastodon app does not include the booster, nor does Mammoth. Ivory does include it, but has the booster's handle selected in the editor (see attached), which I think is a nice and thoughtful touch. If you just start typing it will get replaced, so the "cow path" in this case replicates conventional behaviour, but lets you choose to include the booster's handle with a simple tap or similar gesture.

For the record, Toot! Gives you the option to “Include booster when replying” in its settings
