I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing but it’s not clear to me where the tracking link is with those links, or if there’s even a tracking link at all.

Talking out of my ass because I don't know what links are getting removed for you or what the links look like:

Delete all of the URL params (everything from the ? to the end of the URL).

So if your link looks like https://hexbear.net/post/4294116?scrollToComments=false, edit it to look like https://hexbear.net/post/4294116.

The xhs links don't have any, its just a single code. It looks like this. Maybe it has a tracker built in.

That is a shortened url that redirects to the full url. You can see the real url by simply visiting the first one in a browser and seeing where it redirects.

The issue I encounter is that if I remove the rest of the stuff after the question mark, it presents a page to open in the app instead of opening in the browser.
