# toot [`toot`][toot] is a share page for Mastodon, allowing you to share stuff cross-instance. Just put in your post text and the instance URL and click "Toot!" And if you open this page with `text` URL parameter, it will be auto-inserted in the text field. Same goes for the `instance` URL parameter. This can be used to build custom share buttons for Mastodon: ```html Share on Mastodon ``` The instance URL can be saved in your localStorage to be automatically appended later — handy! ## Copyright The `toot` icon is the altered Elephant emoji (🐘, `U+1F418`) from [Twemoji](https://twemoji.twitter.com), originally licensed under [CC-BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) ---- [](https://vercel.com) [toot]: https://toot.karamoff.dev
