The idea

I want to be able to quote boost my own private (followers-only scope) posts, with the new quote inheriting the scope of the quoted post the same way a reply does.

The reasoning

All the reasons you would want to quote any other post. I want to be able to spin off a new thread on an older followers only post.

This feature is related to the pleroma-fe Akkoma frontend specifically, and not the backend.

Owner

Being able to quote one’s own private posts is a valid feature request in principle if anyone wants it, but two things worth noting:

I want to be able to spin off a new thread on an older followers only post.

Quote posts (created by *oma) inherit the context of the quoted posts, meaning they’ll show up in the same thread. If that’s your main motivation, you might not actually gain anything by this over just starting a new sub-thread via a reply. Do you still want this anyway?

Creation of quotes for not publicly visible posts is denied in the backend, so this is actually more of a backend request.

Creation of quotes for not publicly visible posts is [denied in the backend](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/src/commit/e2987402b3f5d731a8627e8748dfc03287acaf27/lib/pleroma/web/common_api/activity_draft.ex#L133), so this is actually more of a backend request.

Ah sorry I was originally going to post this on the backend and second guessed myself when I saw the checkbox that says "i am sure this is a backend request" or something lol. I will recreate this issue there.
But to answer your question (and I'll include this in the reasoning section in the new issue anyway), I do still want this anyway. I browse with replies hidden in the timeline and sometimes people quote boost their older posts with a new update instead of just posting a reply to an old thread. Even though this shows as a reply to the original post, it does show up in timelines in a different way and can kickstart a new line of conversation in a way that a reply might not.
