Am I crazy or does the UX of mastodon kind of suck in some places?

I've seen "Share on Mastodon" buttons on websites and are greeted with a prompt saying "what's your mastodon instance so you can actually post". I get that mastodon is federated... but there has to be a better UX for this. It's things that this that absolutely turn off normies who just want to share stuff to their friends.

I have absolutely no proposal for how to improve this. I'm just complaining
