It is my practice to delete the hash lines after question marks in URLS to defeat tracking... but the question mark has disappeared (lemmy.world)

Please accept this in the ethos of no stupid questions.

The only programming I do is to defy tracking by deleting hash lines after ? In the url.

Some popular sites I am embarrassed to admit to even viewing have found a way around this by offering me share links without the ?.

It’s Instagram I am ashamed to mention.

What do I do to get rid of the tracking now?

You should be able to visit the post via a web browser that’s not signed in and get a direct URL. Also just don’t link to IG when possible (I know you probably have your reasons but throwing that out there).
