Adding my own sharing buttons

I would like to add share buttons on my pages for the major SM-networks, but I do not want to include any third party code. Just a simple link that leads to the appropriate page on the social network, that will allow the user to log on their own account and share a link to my website.

I've got the links and info for both Twitter and Facebook, but I am having trouble finding any information for other networks. In addition to Twitter and FB, I would also like to include instagram and reddit. Linkedin is not relevant for this specific niche. Are there any others I should be adding?

I'm not sure about Instagram as all I'm wanting to share for now is a link, no images or videos.

For Reddit I found, reddit.com/submit?url=example.com, which works fine, but I would like to add a title, but can't find the correct url param. Their api docs show "title" but it doesn't wok and the "/submit" link is not part of the api which would be /api/submit. The api requires authentication.

So I do not want to have to create accounts on all these social networks, I just want to provide the users button for their convenience.

The title param does work for Reddit, I had included typo.

Here is a resource I found that provides the info for nearly all the social networks:
[github.com...]

Notably missing is Instagram.
