Request: Add a Native Share Button to FluentCommunity Feed

I would like to request a native Share Button for the FluentCommunity Feed Footer. This would make it much easier for users to share community posts, especially on mobile devices. Ideally, it should use the Web Share API on supported devices and provide a link-copy fallback for browsers that do not support native sharing.

I also tried implementing the Share button myself. It works initially, but because FluentCommunity is built as an SPA, the feed is dynamically re-rendered when switching tabs, scrolling, or loading new posts. As a result, a custom DOM-based implementation can conflict with the feed rendering lifecycle, causing the feed to keep loading or the Share button to disappear. This is why I believe a native Share button integrated directly into FluentCommunity’s FeedFooter component would be a much more reliable solution.

Great idea Arif Hossain, and thanks for planning to add it Md. Ariful IslamΒ . Please include an option to enable or disable it at the space level. It makes sense for public spaces, but not so much for private ones. Thanks!

JFΒ good point

Great news. Would it be possible to make it compatible with short links? Like for example with Yourls?

Ideally, when a post is shared, it should generate a visual preview of the post’s content, rather than simply displaying a link!

I am also very interested for a native plugin. I noticed this plugin but don't know if it works: https://mpaddi.com/item/fc-share-to/

ProsperΒ You can use custom code temporarily. If you need it, DM me.

ProsperΒ I haven’t been able to purchase it. But either way it doesn’t generate a visual preview
