Confusing list sharing experience
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When pressing the share button on a reading list, a page appears that says “A user on this site has created a reading list to share with others (probably you).” It’s confusing, as not “a user” created the reading list, but you; and this user certainly doesn’t want to share with you, as your own reading list is already available for yourself without any sharing. I’d expect a different page to appear, from where I can easily share the link – for example by highlighting it in a textbox and copying it; pressing a button to copy it; and/or by using the Web Share API (which works also in certain Windows and macOS browsers, not only in Android and iOS ones).

Event Timeline

Agreed. It's also not completely working with the apps. I'll look into this shortly and come up with something better.
