Does anyone here know how to post links to Xiaohongshu without the InsidiousTrackers bot deleting your post? (hexbear.net)

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.

The link has an automatic redirect which takes you to a different URL with tracking parameters baked in. So you need to follow the redirect in order to remove the tracking parameters.

Here's an example (possible tracking parameters redacted). Random video from my feed.

http://xhslink.com/a/abcdefg1234567

Redirects to

https://www.xiaohongshu.com/discovery/item/6786cfb3000000000100860e?app_platform=android&ignoreEngage=true&app_version=8.59.0&share_from_user_hidden=true&xsec_source=app_share&type=video&xsec_token=XXXXX%3D&author_share=1&xhsshare=CopyLink&shareRedId=XXXXX&apptime=1737091379&share_id=XXXXX

Now you can remove everything after and including the question mark ?

At least I think it works, let me know if you don't get a video talking about the Jakarta Method.

Could just be me but this leads me to a page to download rednote, it's all in mandarin tho so I'm just guessing based on the icons. Some other links in this thread lead to the actual app for me
