Ooh, just seen there’s two boards now for sharing Folksy Friday’s - I’ve just shared this on the other one, not sure if I should share it on here too but more is more I guess!

Here’s my collection of beauties this week :grinning:

I’ve shared on my IG, FB, Twitter and also pinned everything to my Handmade Folksy Finds board on Pinterest (you can find me by searching ‘photofairytales’)

Sellers featured: Morla’s World, @kithandkin, @RachelMooreArt (Happy Hooks & Cosy Nooks - hope I’ve tagged the right person!), and @thestitchyroom

I’ve been posting my FF boards here since the thread began about 5 years ago and didn’t even know about the other one until the last couple of weeks, but I don’t think it matters where they go really! But for anyone who doesn’t know, Kim from Folksy started this thread with a ‘how to’ about curating your Folksy board, so take a look at the top if you want to have a go, but need some guidance! xxx

Great video Sue! I saw it yesterday but will look again today to see if I can figure out how to share on IG. Have you seen this thread on the Forum so that if you do a Folksy-related post, you can give everyone here a heads up so that we can get behind it?

I hadn’t seen the post, however I did share the link here in this thread and in the daily listing thread if you notice the words on IG is in blue (so its a clickable link)

To share to IG you need to view the video via the images of those you are following that run across the top of you IG see image below

Then click on the person whose video you ant to share, the video will pop up and then click the arrow in the right hand corner.

When you click that arrow a box will appear allowing you to share the video with people. You can search for you own name and share it to yourself (now I don’t know but I’m guessing when you share it with yourself it will appear on your IG)

To share a video to facebook, twitter or to copy the link

If you click the 3 little dots on the video, a box will pop up and you just need to scroll down and click the share button *see images

I hope I haven’t over complicated my explanation.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at that. I’m sometimes limited on IG because I don’t use a smart phone. I hope you get lots of interaction with your lovely post.

@plumporridge Not having a phone will probably limit your sharing options. If you’re on a phone, the arrow/paper plane icon on a post will give you the option to privately send the post to one of your contacts, or to add to your story, which is the best way to share on Instagram.
On desktop it looks like that will only give the option to privately send the post, and the three dots gives the better options, but only for sharing to other sites rather than on Instagram.

Thank you Kim, that’s more or less what I find, that confirms it’s because I am on a desk top and not because I’m being dim :grin:
