Is it possible to autopopulate the link url with the blog post link? This is what I currently see:

I haven't dug too much, but this appears to be the way to share a link to reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/submit?url=https://example.com&title=Lorem%20ipsum. I tried with encoded and decoded URLs for the url querystring value, but no luck. Only the titlw populates @AkshitLakhera. I'm sure if you do a bit of digging, there is probably and updated URL oe way of doing this so the URL populates.

Thank you for the feedback. I noticed the same issue where the title populates correctly, but the URL doesn’t. I’m currently exploring alternative methods to ensure the URL auto-populates as intended. Once I find a reliable solution, I’ll push the update. I appreciate your patience, and I’ll keep you posted!

Hello @BekahHW ,

I have successfully implemented the Reddit share button in the SocialShare component, with title auto-population working as expected. However, after exploring several methods, Reddit restricts URL auto-population during submission.

Given this limitation, I wanted to check if there are any recommended workarounds or suggestions for handling this.
