@gargron The main reason I'd like to boost+quote is to be able to, for example, boost a cosplay picture and tag a friend so they get notified about it (while also sharing it with my followers).

What's the proper way to do this on Mastodon?

(From anyone; I'm just not sure :)

@PrincessRaspberry to share with followers? boost it. to share it with a single person? reply to the toot but remove the original mentions (like i just removed gargron). you can also change the privacy to "direct" if you want it directed just at the people you mention.

@trwnh Sure, but what I'm curious about is the Mastodon equivalent of "quoted retweet", so a boost with comment.

@trwnh Yes, I understand that. That's why I'm asking what the convention here is to do if I want to share a toot with my followers but add thoughts to it.

@PrincessRaspberry Basically to do those two actions separately, rather than altogether. Either you reply and boost (to notify), or you paste a link (to not notify)
