I hate that you can't link to a Mastodon post without it taking you a different server. It's nuts that those links aren't swizzed on the sever. Always taking me to a different server that I'm not logged into is the Achilles heal of Mastodon. Non-tech users are completely confused by this. It's not their fault, it's Mastodon's fault. I know it's not easy to fix, but if Mastodon wanted to fix one thing keep new users, this is it.

You can click on the three-dots menu on a post in the Mastodon webinterface, and click "Copy URL". It becomes the link above.

Works for sharing with others only if they are on the same instance, otherwise still the same issue you mentioned.
