sharing a mastodon post [View all]

So, it's easy to share tweets but since many prominent people are now transitioning to Mastodon (Marc Elias, Robert Reich, etc...) and posting interesting information, it would be nice to be able to share these in order to discuss them.

On mastodon, I can copy link and then put it in there:

https://ecoevo.social/@snailman/109399080780941229

I am not sure this works because DU croaks on the @ symbol and think the link is not valid.

I also tried the embed option, but it gives html code for embedding which I am not sure I can put in a DU post.


Of course, I can also screenshot the thing and share it that way but this requires a few extra steps.

Is there a way to do it easily ?
