Why does clicking on a link bring me to the comment page instead of the link? (kbin.social)

Clicking on posts pointing outside kbin brings me to its comment page instead of the linked page. I have to click through another time from the comment page to finally get to the article. Is this a deliberate choice, and is there a config somewhere?

I would also like the ability to access the link directly!
I tried to make a userscript for this, but it turns out the server-side part of kbin simply doesn't send that information to the client, except in some cases (where you can preview the media), so it can't be done without using extra server resources.

If it doesn't increase server load, it would be great if the link could be accessible immediately.
