If someone wants to tidy up the link and make it more concise, while also teaching me how to do the same, then that would be great too. 🙂

Usually anything from the question mark onwards (the "query string" component of the URL) can be deleted because it's just passing extra tracking info back to the server (in this case I'm guessing the link is from Facebook because of the "?fbclid=..." part).
This isn't guaranteed to work because sometimes bits of the query string are actually used to select the destination page, so you'll always want to test your cleaned-up link (ideally using your browser's Incognito Mode or equivalent, to simulate a brand-new visitor to the site). It does work for Instagram reels, which have a "?ig..." query string that you can delete with impunity to deny Zuck a tiny bit of stalking.
