#BotKit 0.2.0: Native
#quote post support!
We're excited to share a preview of the upcoming quoting features in BotKit 0.2.0. This update will make it easier for your bots to engage with quoted content across the fediverse.
The quoting feature set includes:
Here's a quick example of how you can use the quote detection:
bot.onQuote = async (session, quote) => {
// The quote parameter is a Message object representing the post that quoted your bot
await quote.reply(text`Thanks for quoting my post, ${quote.actor}!`);
// You can access the original quoted message
const originalPost = quote.quoteTarget;
console.log(`Original message: ${originalPost?.text}`);
};And creating quote posts is just as simple:
// Quote in a new post
await session.publish(
text`I'm quoting this interesting message!`,
{ quoteTarget: someMessage }
);
// Or quote in a reply
await message.reply(
text`Interesting point! I'm quoting another relevant post here.`,
{ quoteTarget: anotherMessage }
);Remember that quoting behavior may vary across different
#ActivityPub implementations—some platforms like Misskey display quotes prominently, while others like Mastodon might implement them differently.
