That's arguably the expected behaviour - for a discussion, 'link' effectively takes you to the comments, for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.
You could use 'guid' instead - that always links to the post on Lemmy, and it usually contains a useful thing on other sites' RSS feeds.
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 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?
Oh, okay. Citing the specs is a good argument killer.
There's a Closed Issue relating to this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3540
From there you can navigate to the right place to open a new Issue if you want.
thanks!
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.
