Social media sharing icons removed from the Aalto's Research Portal – More flexible configuration coming in 2026
All social media sharing icons have been removed from 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s research portal (https://research.aalto.fi/), as the current system does not allow the removal or replacement of individual icons. Our initial goal was to replace the X service with Bluesky, but due to technical limitations, this was not possible.
Many researchers have moved to Bluesky and would prefer sharing content there instead of on X. Since we couldn’t change just one social media icon, we removed all of them from the research portal.
In 2026, the portal will get a new layout with more flexible settings, allowing us to bring back some icons based on user needs.
911±¬ÁÏÍø has already stopped posting on X and now shares content on other platforms, including Bluesky.
