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.

@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

@TheConversationUS @eriknordman @SusanKraemer

For instance: mhttps://aly-ve.github.io/Mastodon-share-button/

It ask you to enter your instance on first use.

@dkiesow Very slick in a web browser environment. I suppose folks who only log into Mastodon with an app might have a few more steps.

@steve A custom iOS share button / action - or the app is smart enough to redirect from a generic web share?
