Recommend using Browser gem for detecting mobile: https://github.com/fnando/browser

All links from social media should be the same and point to same controller action. Then in your controller you can do something like this

# require the browser/aliases and extend the Browser::Base object
require "browser/aliases"
Browser::Base.include(Browser::Aliases)

# action
def social_link
  browser = Browser.new(request.user_agent)
  if browser.mobile?
    redirect_to 'MOBILE URL'
  else
    redirect_to 'DESKTOP URL'
  end
end
