 * Hello,
    I am able to add a Mastodon-Button to my theme. But there will only be
   a “white page” when I pres this button. Nothing happening there. What am I doing
   wrong? regards, Suitbert

 * Hello,
 * I recognised the same error and looked into the code at
    …shariff/services/shariff-
   mastodon.php
 * The Service URL is defined as
    $service_url = esc_html( ‘web+mastodon://share’);
 * but “web+mastodon://share” is not a valid URL.
 * Obviously there is no share link for the decentralized structure of mastodon,
   up to now.
    🙁

 * same here, it seems that the best way to solve this would be to allow the user
   to enter his mastodon instance and then login and then share the post right ?
 * unless the web+mastodon://share works if the user has a specific mastodon client
   installed ?
