Is it possible (or are there any plans to add this option) to share community threads on LinkedIn?  
By pressing the _Share_ button, I can see the options for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and via email, but nothing for sharing on LinkedIn:

Thank you!

You can add it with [Social Share](https://meta.discourse.org/t/social-share/89980)

Thank you for your help, @Moin! For some reason, I don’s see the icon, though. The new button looks empty:

Here is what I put into the _social share links_ field:

```plaintext
LinkedIn, fab-linkedin, Share on LinkedIn, https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=

```

I think you have to use fab-linkedin as the icon

I received an error:

It looks like you may have deleted a slash, could you try adding a “/” after the `.io`?

No, it doesn’t work either.

For future reference, the error in this case was caused by the fact that the site setting `allowed crawler user agents` was enabled, effectively allowing crawling only to specific user agents, none of which included LinkedIn. Simply adding `LinkedInBot` to the setting allowed the theme component to work properly.
