How is following someone on another server with Mastodon difficult? Or is that some sort of a meme now?

It's confusing if someone posts a Mastodon handle on eg Twitter. If it's a link to their profile, you can't follow them on that page. You have to go to your own instance and paste their handle into the search box and follow them that way.

That is a legit UX annoyance, yes.

Similarly, local-to-your-instance links to a specific toot, vs. globally-accessible / canonical toot URLs.

Both can be resolved through the Search dialogue on Mastodon, but it took me a while to work that out myself.
