Feature Request: Show remote quotes in the comment section

[pfefferle]

What

Import quotes as custom comment type and show them (somehow) in the comment section of the quoted post.

Why

Quotes are very similar to comments, so we should make them public on the source-site.

How

No response

Quoting posts are independent posts that reference an original one.
Therefore, I believe it would be better to treat quoting as a Quote activity—alongside Announce—rather than as a quote object.

#1888
a quote as a post should support richer formatting, titles, and potentially even media embeds — much closer to a standalone article that references the original content.

Quote posts are not treated as a reply to the post they are quoting. Those are completely separate mechanisms. A quote post can reply to something while quoting something else.

It seems possible to use a QuoteAuthorization activity.
However, since Misskey quotes work differently, further research is needed to determine whether _misskey_quote can be received.

That said, since FEP-044f is already on Misskey’s todo list, there is potential for improved compatibility in the future.

Only quotes from mastodon.social are guaranteed to be shown here. Quotes rejected by the author will not be shown.

I have a question:
When an announce is canceled from a remote instance, can the Undo activity be received locally?

In the case of quotes, it seems that we also need to handle Delete activities.

Once this issue is resolved, we should be able to put WP-to-WP quotes on the table.

Hi @Jiwoon-Kim! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the misskey team.

To support Misskey quote activities in WordPress, you’ll want to handle the custom _misskey_quote property in incoming ActivityPub payloads. Misskey uses _misskey_quote (and sometimes quoteUrl) to indicate the URI of the quoted note in its ActivityPub objects, as defined in its JSON-LD context and used throughout its backend logic. This is distinct from FEP-044f, but the mapping is conceptually similar: extract the quoted URI from _misskey_quote and treat it as a reference to the quoted post, just as you would with Mastodon’s FEP-044f quoteUrl property.

Misskey’s backend resolves and attaches the quoted note using this property, and outgoing federation populates both _misskey_quote and quoteUrl for compatibility with other platforms. For WordPress, you can adapt your existing FEP-044f quote handling logic to also check for _misskey_quote in incoming notes, extract the URI, and import/display the quote as a custom comment type or similar entity, as proposed in issue #2272. This approach will ensure compatibility with Misskey and its forks, even before full FEP-044f adoption. See the technical details and discussion in Misskey issue #16590 and the Misskey backend implementation.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

(and sometimes quoteUrl)

This is false claim. It always uses _misskey_quote. It's range is URI which "resolves" to the source note.
