Hey folks
I’m using the component on my forum to compliment the built-in X, email and Facebook ones.

More of the platforms has a text param but when I add this, it’s populating that with the URL of the topic and not the highlighted text.
Any help or guidance here would be awesome

Hi, the share on Threads (https://www.threads.net ) does not work for me on my Discourse site, it gives a page not found.
The theme component is currently experiencing errors.
The default popup size, 265px, is not well suited for quite a few sharing widgets. I noticed that the code does have the option to define a popup size, or even allow opening the share thing in a new page. So I created a PR that allows for setting an option 5th parameter for the size of the popup: FEATURE: Configure open in popup and popup height by elmuerte · Pull Request #50 · discourse/discourse-social-share · GitHub
