You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.
In the Mastodon app you can just click “follow”. Since BS doesn’t have a web interface at all, it’s probably safe to assume that this is not a major reason a BS user would avoid Mastodon. Since they’re not on desktop anyway.
EDIT: Disregard me BS apparently has a website now so maybe the copy-paste reason is why?

Thanks didn’t realize that, edited my comment
I only use Mastodon as a desktop website.
Wasn’t that fixed - or at least ameliorated - in the newest upgrade of Masto?

The process got easier in mastodon 4.2.0, now you just have to type in your instance and it takes you to it directly.
Who wants to type anything?
