Some RSS links from lemmy feeds are broken - or is it my reader? (lemmy.ml)

Most entries in lemmy's RSS feed have a that points to the relevant lemmy post eg

Title: Any DE or distro without touch support?
Author: https://lemmy.ml/u/tarius
Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 01:24:59 AEST
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
Author: https://lemmy.world/u/KISSmyOSFeddit
Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 03:30:46 AEST
Feed: Lemmy - linux
Link: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a71c1b49-fb63-420d-8afc-d40661ffd79c.png

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 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.

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.
