You can resolve this issue via using .htacess by adding this above your current rules will remove everything starting from the &fb_action.

RewriteRule ^(.*?)&fb_action /$1 [L,R=301]

But this is work around and the correct way is using Share Dialog rather that Feed Dialog.

The main different between Feed Dialog vs Share Dialog as you can see

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.0 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog

Feed Dialog:

You can add the Feed Dialog to your app so people can publish individual stories to their timeline. This includes captions that your app manages and a personal comment from the person sharing the content.

Share Dialog

The Share dialog prompts a person to publish an individual story or an Open Graph story to their timeline. This does not require Facebook Login or any extended permissions, so it is the easiest way to enable sharing on web.

So in you have to use:

Feed Dialog ==> for Pages you developed so you can change htaccess

Share Dialog ==> for Pages you can not change it's code
