Just had a request for a "Share on Mastodon" button for a blog.

As far as I know there's no official "Share on Mastodon" button, but there are several third party options.

If you've used a "Share on Mastodon" button on your site, could you give your recommendations/experiences?

@feditips I made my own, along with integrating Mastodon replies and interactions. Code is here:

@feditips I use the privacy-friendly plugin Shariff in ClassicPress, and it works. You just cannot configure a template and if you want your toot to have a different text, you need to change it every time.
Shariff supports Mastodon since a short time, and it also supports Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Xing and a lot of other platforms.

@feditips

The OS or a registered app would need to know which instance you wished to share too? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@feditips thereโ€™s this one: share-on-mastodon.social

Thereโ€™s also Wordpress (and probably other blog software) plugins.

@feditips it would be great to have simple and ready to use plugins to integrate Mastodon into Joomla and Wordpress.

@feditips Didnโ€™t find any ready-made solution that I liked, so I wrote (i.e. searched and borrowed and customized) my own little JavaScript that asks for (and memorizes) the userโ€™s instance, and then composes a toot with the link to the current page.

@feditips for Wordpress, the one which allows you to select the instance is AddToAny Share plugin. The others arenโ€™t as flexible. Iโ€™ve implemented this and also embedded toots in my blog palmdoc.net

@feditips I bookmarked this a few weeks ago github.com/Aly-ve/Mastodon-sha
Would love to see a plugin for #WordPress as I'm not really a dev myself...

@feditips Something like "Share with #ActivityPub" would be better.

@feditips @django installed one on mine, gwagner.com. Looks good, if I may say so myself, and it works.

@feditips For the current iteration of my blog, I have a button that prefills the link and mentions me at a share page for each post.

So the button on...
judahbrown.xyz/share/about/
...Would redirect to
toot.kytta.dev/?text=Check%20o

@feditips For WordPress, AddToAny Share Buttons plugin has a Mastodon share button (along with all the other social media sites). I have it on my blog. It makes you select your instance though... so, not as simple as sharing to Twitter. If you want to see how it works, I can send my blog link for you to try it.

@feditips i just direct link back to my profile. not the most elegant thing but since i'm just getting back into blogging, i'm trying not to get too distracted by the endless tweaking i could do.

basically, if the visitor is so inclined, they can either send me a note through the web site or hit me up here.

my mom hasn't taken advantage of either option yet.
