Most entries in lemmy’s RSS feed have a <link> that points to the relevant lemmy post eg
Title: Any DE or distro without touch support?

Feed: Lemmy - linux
Link: https://lemmy.ml/post/15632012
That makes sense - clicking the link takes me to the conversation.
Other entries however, include a link to the subject of the conversation eg
Title: Wayland usage has overtaken X11

The feed I’m using is https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/linux.xml
This is unfortunate as clicking the link in my reader (elfeed) does not show the conversation - I rely on the <link> to take me there.
elfeed being built in elisp in emacs, I have been able to concoct a fix especially for lemmy - but it really feels like a bug in lemmy as no other feed needs it. Where can I report it or discuss it?
It might be more expected for you but I’m going to differ.
… and then you can’t get to the discussion.
The RSS-2.0 definition of <link> is
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!
