[Feature request] Mastodon button

[mbootsman]

Hi, do you have plans to include a Mastodon button?

Hi, sorry I missed the Issue. This project is based on sharingbuttons.io, and sadly, there is no Mastodon button there at the moment.
It should be possible to add a new social network with a couple SVG's and a link to open, like http://twitter.com/share?url=
I do not know a lot about Mastodon, but as I understand it, the second part may be tricky. It would be possible to link to a third-party service for that, but it may stop being supported. The second is to add that support into this template itself, but this seems to go against the "no-js, no extra requests" idea. Also, I am not sure if providing the ability to specify a static URL in the settings would be enough. This wouldn't allow people to share it somewhere else.

That being said, it should be easier to add a specific button for your specific needs in a fork, copy-pasting the Twitter parts from https://github.com/Stals/hugo-share-buttons/blob/main/share-buttons.html, and only changing the specific svg in the style you are using, plus the link.
For a more general solution, I'm open to ideas on how to better do it and also pull requests.
