I'm prototyping a fediverse sharing button. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Feature highlights:

- shows a logo of supported fediverse software
- lets you share selected text
- remembers the last fediverse domain used

Demo: fediverse-share-button.stefanb…
Download: github.com/stefanbohacek/fediv…

Huge thanks to everyone sharing this, and for trying it out!

I added an FAQ section: github.com/stefanbohacek/fediv…

Anything I missed, or should elaborate on?

@Stefan Bohacek the same bookmarklet code you use for Diaspora should work for Friendica too. https://wiki.friendi.ca/ressources?s[]=share

@Stefan Bohacek before I learned that I was using "Share to Mastodon" that I had configured to a Mastodon account that my Friendica Account re-toots everything it toots, though depending on what I was doing I preferred to manually copy/paste the URL so that I could include proper BBCode

like [url=https://full.text-of.url][img=https://full.url-of-image.preview]preview text (i.e.) image description/"alt text"[/img][/url]

so that the URL preview would look the way I wanted it too.

Friendica BBCode tags reference - Documentation [Friendica / Wiki]

@Stefan Bohacek While share to mastodon didn't recognize my friendica instance as a valid Mastadon instance, it did recognize both my Soapbox and GNU Social accounts as valid, but neither works right, GNU Social just shows a pop-up window indicating "internal server error NO SUCH USER FOUND" whether I'm logged in or not, if I am logged in it shows my personal preference for the GNU Social interface and a log out button while if I'm logged out it shows the default interface and a log in button. On my Soapbox account it just opens a pop-up for a new post with no info pre-populated in the text input box.

On similar notes Friendica nativeily supports RSS so I have used kill-the-newsletter.com to set up an email address I call "tooty mail" that lets me just type an email from any email account in the world, like when I'm at work where much of the web, including my Frienidca instance, is blocked, if i have something on my mind. (With native RSS support almost half of my "friends" are RSS feeds, with nearly half of those being email newsletters, which leads to me reading more of that content in general AND making my email inbox easier to manage actual important email communication.

@Stefan Bohacek
I really had hoped to find a way to set up something more similar to what tweety-mail was back in the day where when you emailed from (a) certain authorize(d) email address with certain commands it would post text of the mail, return X number of recent notification via email, return X number of recent toots from a given feed, or comment on a particular toot included in that return, etc. But I'm not smart enough to do so and I couldn't find a way to explain what I wanted to anyone that I could pay to make a FLOSS tool available to anyone.

@fu Ah, thankfully you don't have to be particularly smart to write open-source code, otherwise I'd be in trouble 🙃

@ErikUden compiled a list of similar projects on his own take on this functionality: github.com/Uden-AI/fediverse-s…

Some of these seem no longer active, and some are Mastodon-branded, which is in part why I made this.

Thank you so much for making this. I will update my repo to point it to yours, because yes, I'm very much lacking the time to continue it!

Wow, this is so much better!!

Very easy to customize to fit your site, too!

A screenshot of the fediverse share prompt at the bottom of an article on my website, with some of its text visible.

The prompt is labeled with the text "Share this page from your fediverse server", where the word "fediverse" is a link to jointhefediverse.net.

Below the label is a three-part input field, with an "https" prefix, text input with the name of my instance filled in, and a "Share" button with a Mastodon icon, matching the platform my instance is using.

Further below, separated by a horizontal line, are three icons for sharing the page via email and saving it to Pocket and Pinboard.

This whole module is inside a lightly-colored rectangle with round borders, separating it from the rest of the page.

Below is a clickable list of article tags.

I'll likely snag and help at the assets myself later on. it's a super nice and easy sharing widget for the static web 😁 5 stars.

@burley Awesome, thank you!

I've heard of Elk, but I'm not super familiar with it, so let me look into how to best integrate it with my project. Thank you for the suggestion!

I need this so much! I hope you can get it working and it’s adopted everywhere. I also want the headlines, subhead and images shared.

@MoiraEve I'd say this is already pretty usable, I already have it on some of my websites* and a few people mentioned also using it. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

@MoiraEve Yep, that's correct. Are you just putting in mastodon.world? The https is not needed.
