  Mastodon is a subset of the fediverse.
  If something is in Mastodon, it’s in the fediverse.

    It’s ALREADY in the fediverse with Misskey, Lemmy, and other APub software i don’t know.

      Lemmy still doesn’t have crossposts as far as I know

    Sharkey, misskeys, pleroma, akkoma, wafrn and friendica already have quotes.

      (Almost) all services (except Mastodon) have had quote posts for years/decades.

      (Sharkey, Misskey, Friendica, Hubzilla, Pleroma, Akkoma, etc.)

  I thought Misskey and its forks already supported quote posts?

  It is likely most other software will be able to consume them.

  This highlights what I believe to be a poor choice in the design of BlueSky’s AT Protocol; ActivityPub software is usually liberal in what it accepts and displays, while ATProto enforces schemas (“lexicon”).

    It usually comes down to a difference in vision, the fediverses schtick is that you can follow Reddit from Twitter or whatever, whereas on atproto you use a different appview for different formats, like frontpage.fyi for links, and whtwnd.net for blogging.

      It’s a difference in vision, but I don’t like BlueSky’s vision here.

      Combining the Reddit-like and Twitter-like experiences in one place is a little awkward, but following a blog or a Youtube-like from a Twitter-like isn’t. Having the option to switch to a more optimal appview is great, but realistically a lot more people would follow a blog from BlueSky than would use their BlueSky identity to sign into WhiteWind.

        Well, it’s a bit more than just using their identity to sign in, data is also stored on their PDS.

        It’s entirely possible to make a server that accepts several different lexicons, wafrn plans on doing this for articles.
