Is it possible to link to a specific post in FB and have it open in the app rather a browser?
For instance, I have some facebook instant articles, and I'd like to link directly to them in FB rather than my blog.

I have a Facebook Page for my blog named PeppyBurro. And I have a Facebook App named PeppyBurro Blue. I am using this app's app ID to embed FB comments on my blog. The comments section is live and working fine.
I can even moderate the comments on my moderation page:
Now I want to enable Facebook Comments Mirroring in this app's settings so that the comments entered on the website appear on the corresponding post on the FB page and vice-versa. However, when I attempt to do that, FB tells me I don't have a page to connect!
For what it's worth, I already have Instant Articles up and running on my page.
I have had the same problem: It's not possible to activate mirroring to post to personal Facebook profiles. It only works with Facebook pages (sites). In order to use this feature you have to create a Facebook page (with your profile) and post to it.
So in my app I display some Facebook posts from a predefined page. I get the posts from my server (the server gets them from Facebook directly) and this way I avoid using the Facebook SDK.
For each post, I have both the id and the URL and whenever a user presses on a post I open the Facebook app on that given post.
Now I'd like to add the possibility for users to share these posts to their profile pages, but when a user opens a post (on the Facebook app) it doesn't appear any option to share it (only like and comment). Other option would be to use the standard android sharing feature (ACTION_SEND), but whenever I share a post's URL this way the app only shares a picture from that post, not the actual post.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards
There is currently no way to mimic the "share" behavior that exists on the facebook.com website using graph API. The closest thing would be to use the link field that you mentioned.
I am trying to make an iOS app integrated with the Facebook SDK that allows the user to post directly to a facebook group page and receive updates directly from the group page through the app, as an alternative to the facebook app.
I know that the Facebook dialog class in the latest SDK allows us to share a status directly to one's wall but I have yet to find a way to post it to a page other than the user's wall. Is there a way to gain access to a facebook group page and retrieve the posts from the page and also post directly to it?
Facebook comments plugin - as far as I understand, if I have put the facebook comments plugin on a post web page, and the permalink of the post being commented on matches the base URL, then comments are stored via facebook using my post permalink.
Lets say if I post the permalink onto my facebook page wall (which I am the admin of), the open graph tags come into play, all the relavant data is pulled in, fb:admins, fb:app etc.
But is it possible to connect my facebook page (using my facebook page ID) to that permalink - so that comments posted on the page using comment plugin, connect/link with the post comments on my facebook page wall?
Thanks
This is currently not possible. We've implemented custom solution using Facebook Application and Facebook Javascript SDK on the website itself. You need to query the comments table of a specific Page post via FQL using your app access token from your server to retrieve all comments and render them on the page.
Then you need to provide user with several entry points for several states in order to enable posting for them. You need to solve four cases:
User doesn't like the page and didn't authorize your app
User doesn't like the page and authorized your app
User likes the page and didn't authorize your app
User likes the page and authorized your app
User needs to like your page and authorize your app with publish_stream permission in order to be able to comment on your page posts via your website. Of course you need to maintain reference between posts on your page and posts on your website.
The website where we did this a few years ago is BIGGBOSS click on "Komentáře" and find the same post on Facebook with the same comments.
As far as I understand your question its not possible to connect the comments from the commentbox, integrated in your non-facebook page (e.g a blog of yours), to the comments which are posted to a post on your fanpage.
The only solution would be to build an custom commentbox with the open-graph and publish the comments to the fanpagepost and additionally extract the comments out of the fanpage to display them on your blog.
But this requires accepting permission dialog before people are able to comment on your blog which would probably decrease the comments made. You would lose the benefit of the built-in commentbox.
How to make an app similar to Social Reader App?
Social Reader app accesses user information and posts it to their facebook newsfeed and the wall.
This is in regard to icrease popularity for my blog. I want to make such an app which can access the user information and post it to their wall and automatically to the newsfeed when somebody reads my blog.
You have to add FB connection functionality on your blog , or you when you are posting the article on FB wall you can point it to a 2nd domain , where the fb iframe app will be installed and that will take care of the users authentication and then it'll redirect the user to your blog .
