Discussions Cohost Cohost Feature Requests

Give some indication to logged-in users that a post requires login to view

There's an experience I've had countless times now that's honestly gotten to the point where I'm honestly writing this out of frustration: I see a funny post that I'd want to share with friends who don't use Cohost for one reason or another. Finding it worth sharing, I copy the link, believing that it is sharable since there's no indication that it's not, only to be greeted with a useless embed and the realization that the link is useless to anyone who does not have a Cohost account, after I've shared it and possibly triggered notifications as well.


As it stands, beyond opening every post I wish to share in a private window, there's absolutely no way for me to tell otherwise whether I'll be sharing a post or a useless nag. I'd like some way to be able to tell, without using a private window, whether or not I can actually share a post to users who aren't logged in.

Maybe there's some other alternate solution to this, or maybe I should just put up and shut up since it's frankly not all that important, but I'm just tired of feeling like it's effectively up to chance whether a given post can be shared to my non-Cohost using friends or not, because there's no way to tell unless you're not logged in.

Agreed! You're actually the third person to submit this feature request lol (i'm the second :p)


This is the oldest one I'm aware of and has the most votes so far, so maybe best to consolidate here: https://help.antisoftware.club/support/discussions/topics/62000185829

oshit, whoops. I tried looking for this suggestion before making my post, but I guess I just couldn't find the right words, my bad for fragmenting this issue x.x
