    Voyager made this website and probably added these URLs as supported links.

    I am not on voyager, but on thunder and it does not work, since there links are not the standard share link. I tested using normal links in a comment and it works there.

    So while in theory Thunder could add support for these Links, I really just whished that Voyager would stop advertising themselves whenever somebody shares a link with their client.

    The actions of Voyager seem malicious; no other Lemmy (or mastodon client) that I know of does not directly link to the post in question and rather just advertises itself like an adfly page.

      oh, sry, i read that wrong!

      yes, that’s a voyager link, although that should probably open in the browser version by default, since voyager, afaik, does have a web version…

      fyi: it’s not malice, there’s actually a good reason for generating these links!

      it’s so different instances can be shared through the same home instance, i.e.: so i can share a link from feddit.org with someone on lemmy.world, and they can still access it within the same client, through their own home instance without requiring a new login, etc.

      it’s a limitation of lemmy and voyager offers a workaround ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        That makes way more sense. I would question it, since my client (Thunder) manages the same without requiring to rewrite the URL.
