You can share to Pinterest, but you cannot publicize to it. If you use the official Sharing buttons, a “PinIt” button will also appear on your images when someone hovers their mouse over it.
There is no share or publicize to Instagram available.
Here’s more on Sharing and Publicize

Why am I unable to drag and drop sharing buttons into “the box below” as per instructions. I am working in the Sharing Settings, Publicize on Lovecraft theme.
Thank you.

Timethief, how generous of you to spend so much time on this reply. I am very grateful.
I scanned the itemized suggestions, and hit the brakes when I got to #4. I am using a Samsung Galaxy tablet which does not support flash.
I went to the site of the first link under suggestion #4 and this message appeared: This plugin is not supported.
That is probably the brick wall in this case.
If this one deficiency will prevent me from using sharing buttons, I will find a desk top/laptop to use to insert them.
(I’m using Google Chrome 45)
Thank you so much for your detailed reply.

Supernovia (cute username),
I will be using a friend’s laptop, assuming they have dowloaded flash, to install the use of sharing buttons. If that doesn’t work, I’ll get back to you.
Timethief, I am subscribed. Thank you. -

Dear timethief and supernovia,
An update to let you know I was able to achieve this by using a friend’s computer with flash plugin. Apparently, there is only so much one can do on a tablet.
Timethief, a big thank you for your replies here, plus your blog, One Cool Site. I learn so much on it. -

@cookinginmexico
Thanks so much for the kind words about one cool site. I’m happy to know wordpress.com bloggers are finding value in what I post. -
@cookinginmexico — oh one more thing, just to verify, which settings screen were you using? I’ve just tested on my android phone from wordpress.com/sharing/buttons and it’s working there.
