 Hello all, please can you help me test whether substack records mastodon referrals?

Currently substack suggests NO ONE has ever read my newsletter because of mastodon

Here's a link to latest https://tomstafford.substack.com/p/radiation-laced-chapatis-as-a-test

If you have time, please click it. I will report the results.

Or, if you know the answer about substack traffic tracking just reply  here instead

Thanks! 
 @03286cd9 by default, Mastodon add `rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"` to all links. So the browser won't tell the server where the visitor came from.
Personally, I think this is a mistake. It does protect privacy of people who might be on a micro-instance, but it makes it harder for people to assess the impact Mastodon has on traffic.

I have a similar problem with WordPress not tracking Mastodon referrals. Perhaps its because of federation, so that each Mastodon instance is considered a separate site?
