Hey everyone! I recently posted about my latest project, a universal fediverse sharing button: stefanbohacek.com/project/fedi…
Is this something that you'd find useful for your website or blog?

@cybeardjm Yep, I know I can count on you! Planning to start working on it this week.
The biggest challenge will be keeping both the original script and the WP version in sync. I'll figure it out.
Are you by any chance thinking of more of a "share my post on Mastodon after I publish it" feature that the author of the blog would use?
As opposed to letting your site's visitors share the article on their instance after reading it.
Just to clarify.
@CassandraVert Ah, okay, I see. Thank you!
Yeah, part of what motivated me was that too many solutions only focus on Mastodon, leaving out the rest of the fediverse.

Too hard to use, interesting.
This already relies heavily on JavaScript, to switch which instance to go to, that would be difficult to do without it.
So maybe I could make a default version that would only require adding the JS/CSS files, and a placeholder DIV, and add the form dynamically.
And the current version with the full HTML would be an option 2 for those who prefer it?
And I wonder how many of you are just holding out for a WordPress plugin version.
@sol_hsa Ahh, good point, didn't think of that.
And you're right, ideally this would get a better support on a browser level, as with setting your default email client, or calendar app.
Oh shoot, something else might contain "I already use something similar".
I can never get these polls right.
Anyway. If you know a good alternative, feel free to share a link!
@dalias Yes, very good point.
I do touch on that in the project's FAQ, let me look into surfacing this information better.
Thank you!
@Adam Thank you, and thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it!
Adding an overlay with instructions, which would then open the sharing modal might be a bit too many steps? I do like the simplicity of the current approach.
I wonder if I could maybe change the text to something like "type your server name to share with the fediverse"?
That's a bit long, so not ideal either.
Also, a technical side note, the reason the text is not a real label is that I'm avoiding using an ID for any of the form elements, in case someone wants to use this on a blog that uses an infinite scroll, in which case you'd end up with non-unique IDs on the same page.
Wrapping the input in a label doesn't work too well either with this layout.
@Adam Ah, yes, that was already fixed in the code snippet and on the demo page, but on my personal site I had the old code, thank you for catching that!
And I fixed the colors when dark mode is applied, that's what was causing the colors not work right. Thank you so much!
Thanks everyone for voting and sharing!
If you do add this to your site, please reach out!
I'd love to hear about your experience, what worked well, and what can be improved.
Either here, or stefanbohacek.com/contact.
Thank you!

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!

@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!

@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.

not just the fediverse but I really want a 
share button across the websites and popular platforms like we have for Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc
(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.
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.
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.
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.
It's something you can add to your site to make it easier to share it across the fediverse.

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
@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!
@gunchleoc Ah, got it, maybe something else was broken and got fixed.
Thank you, I appreciate all your help!
Also took me to it where I would have to log in instead of just using my login rust was active. Not sure why.
@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?
I'm not really interested in a share button, but I'd love to see this function inspire @nextcloud for profile settings!

100%. See my recent quote from a post on public service use of the fediverse;
mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/112…
"So here is a call from the NZOSS to the New Zealand Government to set up a Government centric Mastodon instance to provide a conduit for Agencies, Departments, Entities, Schools, Councils, DHB's and any other central or local government organisation to disseminate pertinent information in real time."#CarlKlitscher, May 2022

Not as far as I know.
As an aside, I'm part of a new co-op working on a fediverse hosting service. Part of our goal is giving public service entities (governmental or otherwise) a way to create their own fediverse presence, at a predictable cost, with no new work for existing staff.
