    It’s pretty cluttered with all those Mastodon instances. Would be nice if there was one Mastodon button and your browser remembered the instance you were sharing with.

          It’s a pity they don’t have comments on their blog because it would drastically improve their idea.

          Now all we need is a Lemmy Share tool and a Mastodon Link one so both sides of the difficulty with Fediverse traffic are addressed. At least for those two. I imagine if the authors of the two tools swapped notes, they could sort this out.

        The issue with an extension ls is it requires an install, getting everyone to install one extension is a hard task.

          Won’t speak for anyone else but I won’t install any extensions. The stores don’t have basically any disclosure of what they’re doing or what permissions they have.

          Also they’re used for fingerprinting.

            Yeah however for mass adoption this is a terrible idea, there is already the extra step to choose an instance versus a regular social media that is just one link and one button.

            I know for people like you and I choosing an instance isn’t that big of a deal, nor is an extra extension (though i try to use as few as possible) but for a regular user it might cause issues.
