@stefan I was adding my username to the end of the URL. I think that's when I got the error. Initially it didn't seem like putting just the domain was working/did anything. A later try and it worked just fine when putting in only the domain.
@stefan worked good, would be nice if it had a way to keep your server saved so you don't have to enter it each time.
Also took me to it where I would have to log in instead of just using my login rust was active. Not sure why.
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?
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!
@stefan before I learned that I was using "Share to Mastodon" that I had configured to a Mastodon account that my Friendica Account re-toots everything it toots, though depending on what I was doing I preferred to manually copy/paste the URL so that I could include proper BBCodelike [url=https://full.text-of.url][/url] so that the URL preview would look the way I wanted it too.

@stefan While share to mastodon didn't recognize my friendica instance as a valid Mastadon instance, it did recognize both my Soapbox and GNU Social accounts as valid, but neither works right, GNU Social just shows a pop-up window indicating "internal server error NO SUCH USER FOUND" whether I'm logged in or not, if I am logged in it shows my personal preference for the GNU Social interface and a log out button while if I'm logged out it shows the default interface and a log in button. On my Soapbox account it just opens a pop-up for a new post with no info pre-populated in the text input box.
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.
@stefan
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.
@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.
