View of a post on different server than my own, with popup asking where my host server is. I put my own hosting into the popup box, which takes me to it in my timeline, from which I can share it.

   Significant UX upgrade in Mastodon. If you're looking at someone else's post on a different server than your own, you no longer have to do multiple clicks and copy/paste to share the item.

   You just put your own hosting server into the popup box and it shows you the post in context in your own timeline, and you can share it from there.

   No this isn't perfect -- still too many steps.

   But it's a major improvement.
