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

Jochie 👨🏻💻🏳️🌈@SusanKraemer @eriknordman @TheConversationUS the same button on the same website could store it in local storage in the browser. A button across multiple sites would need to be embedded with an iframe and centrally hosted, to avoid browser restrictions of that sort. I’ve seen similar discussions on that topic, and the limitations, clearly others want the same thing, and see the obstacles to conquer.
