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

From the client end, there's a chrome browser extension that serves as a rudimentary share button for Mastodon. You only have to enter your instance once, during set-up. I usually use this, but polish the toot before committing. Doesn't help for the writer/developer, though.

I installed this extension on Chrome on my PC. Works like a champ after initial set-up to set your instance. Had to edit first repost a couple of times to make it reader friendly, but what a time saver! Looking for ways to share from my phone now..

It works on Brave, as well, and I assume it should work on all chrome-based browsers. Plan to test it on Vivaldi (new) which has Mastodon built in.
