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…

in reply to Stefan Bohacek • • •@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Some of these seem no longer active, and some are Mastodon-branded, which is in part why I made this.

in reply to Stefan Bohacek • • •Cool! I just tried it and it works with #Sharkey, too. Probably because Sharkey uses Mastodon's front-end API instead of Misskey's.
So you can add support for Sharkey to the list of supported software!

in reply to DJM (freelance for hire) • • •@cybeardjm Funny, I haven't actually thought about that. I didn't really make a WP version for simplesharingbuttons.com either.
But this is a great idea, it can definitely help with adoption. Thank you!

in reply to DJM (freelance for hire) • • •@cybeardjm I've thought about that, but I'm honestly done with corporate-owned social media. I'm still pretty attached to this old project as it's one of my most popular ones, I've had people make donations over the first few years, and I was also recognized as the creator on a job interview.
I haven't touched it in a while, but I really can't bring myself to shutting it down.

" title="

(it's a shame YouTube dot com still doesn't have it)
The adoption will come after the intrigue and familiarising it via a share icon will be of great service.

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.

in reply to Ji Fu (Domestic Terrorist) • • •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.

in reply to Paul McO'Smith III • • •It's something you can add to your site to make it easier to share it across the fediverse.
See a demo here: fediverse-share-button.stefanb…
You can scroll to the bottom, you will see a field where you can put your fediverse domain, eg. theblower.au.

in reply to Stefan Bohacek • • •Some feedback:
- There is no hint that you have to select some text first.
- When I select too much text, I get an Error code 502 from Cloudflare
Stefan Bohacek
in reply to GunChleoc • • •@gunchleoc Thank you for trying this out!
So you don't really have to select any text, by default the page title and URL are used.
Let me look into how to best surface this functionality. And I'll definitely look into the error when too much of the text is selected. Thank you for reporting that!

Thank you, I appreciate all your help!

in reply to Stefan Bohacek • • •Also took me to it where I would have to log in instead of just using my login rust was active. Not sure why.
Stefan Bohacek
in reply to Netux • • •@Netux Thank you for giving this a try!
Interesting though, not sure why you'd have been logged out, at least I can't think of how the sharing button could affect that
Also, the last domain does get saved, after you click the Share button. Mind sharing a bit more about what OS and browser you're using so I can look into this a bit more?
