Comment on Mastodon now has an official share button for sites
mschae@discuss.mschae23.de 1 day agoI wonder if anyone actually uses any of these. I just can’t imagine finding an article or something and wanting to share it this way, but I’m also not on Mastodon or other similar networks.
Now that I think about it, this might make the most sense for link aggregators, as that’s just the kind of post you’d frequently share. Hm.

If you access something through an app rather than a web browser, the only way to get the url may be through the share button.

Oh that’s true, I didn’t consider that. I do usually copy the URL directly, because share buttons tend to add tracking parameters I’d have to remove manually. But I know many people don’t even bother (or know about) that. Still, that’s only the “share as link” button. Who knows how much the social share buttons actually get used.
