At long last, the Thunderbird blog now has a "Share To Mastodon" button!

A hearty round of applause and eternal thanks to @micah, @oopsallnaps, and @devmount for making it happen 💙

@thunderbird@mastodon.online wouldn't it be nice to use "Share to the Fediverse" instead?

@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount the more "share to mastodon" buttons there are on the internet, the better place it will become 👏🏻

@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount Fabulous news!

FYI, on iPad I'm seeing the popup box showing up at the very top of the page, not centered regardless of my scroll position as I would expect.

Thanks! Would be better to have a 'share to fediverse button' though - example: github.com/Uden-AI/fediverse-s

@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount @andypiper how does it work? is there an awkward “log in to my server” experience? or is it just a one-click

@kellogh due to some limitations with how mastodon works it asks for your instance address and if you are already logged in on that browser, that’s it. Also it will try to remember whatever instance you entered for next time. I’ve tried to make the process as frictionless as possible without tons of code complexity.

I don't think that's avoidable (currently), but they do seem to store the response locally:

@thunderbird @micah Could it be “Share to Fediverse” instead? :D Mastodon is just one implementation of a Fediverse microblogging server.

@thunderbird @micah @oopsallnaps @devmount yay! I know my suggestions didn't end up getting used but I'm happy I got to contribute to the conversation for making this happen 😀

How about adding a Mastodon chat client to Thunderbird to go with the built-in Matrix client?

@thunderbird Just saw Thunderbird bragging about their new "Share To Mastodon" button. Big deal! Too bad Thunderbird is a total disaster, a real piece of work, and don't get me started on Mozilla - totally run by leftists! They're all about control, not freedom. We need tech that's MAGNIFICENT, not this hot garbage. It's time for solutions that put the people first, not this leftist agenda. Sad to see such potential wasted! #TechForThePeople
