[Poll] Should lemmy's RSS link field go to the link URL, or the lemmy /post/... url? (github.com)

I linked the github issue describing this, but essentially the link field, which is the main one used by RSS readers, can either go to

  • the post link (if given), or
  • the post on lemmy which includes the comments (IE /post/xxx)

I'll give these options below, vote on your favorite.

Option 2

It should go to the lemmy url with the comments (/post/xxx)

Definitely to the post comments, imo. Sometimes links contain enough ads/trackers/analytics that I don't even open them and the discussion around it helps to get a good overview and also prevents link rot.
