I think a way to see a posts QTs would be really nice. It feels like a low hanging fruit that'd make discovery a lot easier.

(oops, should that have been "quote post" instead?)

This is something we're discussing right now. Quote posts have a habit of being pretty dunk-prone, but we're talking about a mitigation to that issue (that you can essentially unquote yourself) so once that's in place, I'm in favor.

It might be neat to do as somehow integrated into the replies actually.

@pfrazee Could this be revisited now that blocking hides a post from QTs?

I don't mind if that's not possible, but I would just have used it if it was:

Many new people haven't learned yet that emojis can trigger inclusion in a thematic thread.

So I often quote post things, just adding an emoji like books or the test tube.

It would be good if I could check if somebody else has already done that, with the same post, so I don't add it to the feed a second time.

At the risk of necro'ing this, this is currently my number 1 feature I miss from The Bad Place. I agree that in a worst-case situation, QTs can be very dunky and we don't want that. Mitigation for that would be great, either manually unquoting yourself, using blocking to disable blocked parties from QTing me, or simply (I say, knowing nothing about how simple or complicated any of this is) adding an account level feature that is basically "people can QT me" or even "QTs are shown under my skeets".

Yaaaay

Coming back to add that I use this almost daily to check if something has been quote posted for inclusion in a feed already, before I do so.
