On many popular social media, opening a post will update the URL but won't trigger a navigation and will instead display the content inside a modal. This behavior ensure the user won't lose the current UI context (scroll position). The URL still reflect the post's actual page location and any refresh will bring the user there. This behavior ensure great UX without neglecting SEO.
