What's the UX expectation for inserting a quote of something from a different Fediverse network?
If I'm on Mastodon and want to quote another Mastodon post it's (comparatively) straightforward. A new UI control on each post that quotes it instead of replying.
Now suppose I have a Mastodon account and a Lemmy account, both of which are open on a browser on the same device in two different tabs.
I want to quote a Lemmy post in a new Mastodon post.
How does that work?
Is there a new "Compose with quote" button that prompts for the URL of the Lemmy post?
Can I just compose as normal, and paste the Lemmy URL into the compose box, and the server will figure it out? Or is the client supposed to figure it out?
If there is a "Compose with quote" button, what happens if I paste a URL to an item on a server that doesn't support quoting? Does it fallback to inserting a URL?
