Did voyager start tracking share links on iOS? (sh.itjust.works)

Recently voyager has started to prepend a voyager link in front of sharing links to lemmy posts. Is this behavior new? Why was this change made?

Its to make it easier to share with friends that have the Voyager app. It has zero tracking.

Otherwise if you send a lemmy.world user to a friend in a text message (for example) it'll just open in the browser (on iOS, and android by default).

You can read more on the service: https://vger.to/ It's default I want to make the best experience for non-power users by default. You shouldn't need to know the nitty gritty about the Fediverse for why sharing a meme between friends on the Voyager app, doesn't open with the Voyager app.

For power users, you can configure share instance in settings!

Thank you for making the app!
