Cant tell

Boost is retweet.

Quote is retweet with commment

Apparently a boost/repost is kind 6, which I can't find mention of in the NIPs? And snort includes the reposted event in full as stringified JSON in the content field, while iris leaves the content field blank?

So, kind 6 was NIP-18, but it got removed because it wasn't being implemented as specified: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/173

Quoting works by regular text notes with mentions of other notes embedded in the text body. I would have assumed reposts were the same but with no other text in the body.
