I would advise against using Voyager since it tries to track link shares by first directing you to their website first. It made me uncomfortable so I switched to Summit. I had tried interstellar but wasn’t a fan of the layout or how they didn’t have the ability to handle going into cross-posted links on android at least. Also, had to use obtainium to install it. Summit on F-Droid supports the full fediverse. I had tried a fourth but can’t remember its name, I dropped it because it lacked support for piefeed.

When sharing a link to a post from Voyager it sends you to a URL on their server.

As an example, sharing this post from Summit will go to sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, but sharing this post from Voyager will go to vger.to/sh.itjust.works/post/68040352, which is a private server where we don’t know what this person is doing with the data collected.

TBH while I’m a fan of the app, they have a point that it’s annoying when full privacy requires pouring through every setting you don’t even know exists. I’d love for apps to be fully private by default. I don’t prefer to blindly trust passing data through third-parties. In this case though, you can see the link that will be shared before you do so, so I don’t feel the Voyager dev(s) are doing anything too shady.
