Susan The site I write for, like almost every news site from the NYT on down includes a twitter button for sharing.
I'd like to see a mastodon button that anyone can put on their websites to replace the twitter button that is readily available

Would be great to see @TheConversationUS add a Mastodon button to their web articles. I appreciate them being on Mastodon already.

The Conversation U.S.@eriknordman @SusanKraemer I don’t think this is technically feasible - a Twitter button works because you always share the link to that site. But how would a Mastodon share button determine which instance in the fediverse you are on and posting from?
And thanks for your welcome

@gwagner has a really fantastic example of it working here: https://fediscience.org/@gwagner/109497265931746328

@[email protected] Consider me surprised not more sites have it. Didn't take much to add it on my own, e.g. https://gwagner.com/sec
django@svn @eriknordman @gwagner @TheConversationUS @SusanKraemer yes we used https://aly-ve.github.io/Mastodon-share-button/ it’s very straightforward to implement!
@SusanKraemer @django @eriknordman @gwagner @svn @dkiesow Thanks for the info. I will suggest it to our small and very much overworked development team

I just experimented with the sharing buttons on our site and see that if you code it like the reddit button - that would be appropriate for here as it sends you to reddit to choose which reddit "instance" you want to post to.
