then delete the last path segment of the lemmy post.

The canonical url for your example is
https://lemmy.world/post/31535735
and that works.
I am not sure what the "/17725147" is good for.
It might either has to do with redirects or lemmys Content-Negotiation.
They should figure out.

summing up:
Lemmy posts have different URLs to the same Object.
Your example was
https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/17725147
which is
https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/

For mastodon you need to delete anything after the last '/' and put the
"https://lemmy.world/post/31535735/" in the search box and you get the fedi-object instead of the url. Then you can share that. Not saying this is intended, just saying, it works :)
