Mentions of quote-shares


Hello, hope this is the right place for such suggestions.

Quote-share are a well working and good looking way of including citations to other posts and comments. However, I am thinking it is a bit of a pity that no mention of that appears on the shared post. Wouldn't it make sense for one to appear?

If I make an analogy with academic publication, there of course citing other papers plays a crucial. But when I look at a paper's description on say inspirehep.net, I also see a list of the papers who cite it, which gives me an idea about how the ideas exposed in this paper were expanded on later on. If I look at one of my own papers, it also allows me to see who cited me and how they did, which also gives me a chance to contact them to elaborate further on and maybe correct misinterpretations of what I wrote.

Thanks for the feedback ! I allowed myself to file an issue on GitHub so that the idea does not get too lost in the ocean of Fediverse threads when this gets possible.
