**[Share₂Fedi]** allows you to share stuff on Mastodon, GoToSocial, Pleroma, and other federated social networks, instance-agnostic. Just type in the post text and the instance URL, and click ‘ Post!’

Or, open this page with the prefilled `text` URL parameter—it will be automatically inserted into the text field. The same goes for the `instance` URL parameter. This can be used to build custom share buttons for the federated social networks:
2020-09-23 18:39:38 +02:00
```html
2022-11-14 13:39:51 +01:00
< a href = "https://s2f.kytta.dev/?text=Hello%20world!&instance=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.xyz" >
Share on mastodon.xyz
2020-09-23 18:39:38 +02:00
< / a >
```
2022-11-14 13:39:51 +01:00
The instance URL can be saved in your `localStorage` to be automatically appended if used later—handy!

### Host it yourself
2022-11-14 13:39:51 +01:00
Self-hosting **Share₂Fedi** outside of Vercel requires some extra setup:

pnpm install # to install dependencies
pnpm run build # to build the website
2021-08-28 16:03:58 +02:00
```
3. Run the backend server for the form:
2022-03-18 12:16:21 +01:00

```
2022-03-18 12:39:31 +01:00
2022-03-18 12:16:21 +01:00
or if you want to run the process in the background:
2021-08-28 16:03:58 +02:00
```sh
2022-03-17 13:58:41 +01:00
pm2 start api/toot.js --watch --ignore-watch="node_modules"
2021-08-28 16:03:58 +02:00
```
