Problems With The New Share Function by naptu2(op): 11:53am On Jun 26, 2025

The share function has changed but this has created two new problems.

1) Share locally:

We were previously able to share relevant and interesting posts with our followers on Nairaland. This was like the retweet function on Twitter or the share function on Facebook. That option no longer exists because the share button now prompts us to share posts only on external sites.

We could previously share posts on external sites by copying the url and pasting it on another site or app. However, there is now no way to share posts with our followers on Nairaland.


2) Privacy:

Previously a person could not see the diary section or diary section posts unless he was logged in to Nairaland. Now a person can use the new share function to share the text of diary posts (with their url) to people outside Nairaland who are not even logged in.

Up voting.

Seun is trying to farm more users by having content shared outside of Nairaland.

But we already do that by sending links to people

We have fixed the privacy issue. We are working on the other issue as well.

Seun thank you very much, it is now almost perfect. People can choose to either share locally or off-site.

The only little thing that's left is to allow users to share diary posts locally and it'll be 100% perfect.

Thank you.

I think I like the new share button. It now does the major work of "sharing." I like the drop-down multi choice box too.

But I suggest shares and likes should not be on a single notification button. Likes should be reactions (like, dislike,etc), shares should be different.

PEOPLE ARE BLOCKING PEOPLE FOR THEIR OPINION AND VIEWS.


IF I DID NOT QUOTE YOU, U SHOULDNT HAVE ACCESS TO MY BLOCK PROFILE.


THE BLOCK SHOULD ONLY BE FOR QUOTES.


THIS IS SOCIAL MEDIA, IT WONT BE SOCIAL IF EVERYBODY IS ON BLOCK.

I support this even though I have blocked many people, its just that some people's opinion is so nauseating.
That being said.
Seun is Nairaland a social media site or a forum.
