I followed up on github as you suggested and a very nice young man took a look at it and said that the code already does work the right way (at least the way I and their little poll think it should work). But, it turns out that the fix (from 2021) has not been deployed - it’s to be in the next release.

So I don’t know what will happen now - I’ll continue to use my workaround, so I’m happy enough.

thanks!

It might be more expected for you but I’m going to differ.

for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

… and then you can’t get to the discussion.

The RSS-2.0 definition of <link> is

The URL to the HTML website corresponding to the channel.

so clearly, it should point to the lemmy post. No other RSS feed that I know of has this problem.

Fortunately, emacs can flex around this, but duh! Where can I raise a bug report?
