Reading this  
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/sharing-to-social-networks/3164](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sharing-to-social-networks/3164)

I think that it could be more social Discourse, adding more social networks, like reddit, meneame, wk, but the problem is that there are a lot of social networks… so what choose?

The solutión could be add on admin pannel a tab to customize social networks, with 3 fields:  
Icon:  
Name:  
API url to share on this social network:

It’s more flexible and the admin user can be customize his discourse forum with social network that he wants.

Regards

It’s already possible to remove or reorder them in the site settings, but there isn’t currently a nice way to add new ones.

That is. Reorder, yes, remove, yes, add, NO.

It would be more flexible add new social networks. For example, to add social network tumblr to share links (in case that this network allow send links)

Icon: tumblr icon  
Description: share this link to tumblr  
API: [Trending topics on Tumblr](http://www.tumblr.com/?api=fnoaf&apitumblerwherever)…$urlforum

You’d need to submit a PR to add the relevant provider in the code.

Interestingly, we have gotten zero requests for this from our hosted customers so far.

Do you have many forums in the interior design world? The visuals and the demographic of Pinterest users is right up that street.
