Ask PG: Can you fix the HN RSS feed?
Until sometime yesterday (maybe a little earlier) HN RSS feed items had links to the submitted urls while there was a separate link to the comments. It was very convenient to check interesting items from an rss reader.
Now both of them linking to the comments and I can't check the submitted link without first opening the comments.
Can we go back to the earlier rss feed style?
- kogir 13y agoWhat reader are you using? The feed complies with RSS 2.0[1]. Specifically, for each item: title: The HN title link: The submitted link comments: The HN comments link guid: unique per item description: html linking to comments Since the link hasn't changed, I'm unsure why you're having problems.

- kogir 13y agoOops, turns out that some readers used the guid instead of the link if it was a URL. Fixed?
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoStill broken for me using Google Reader.
- samspenc 13y agoDitto, not working for me in Feedly either.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoI just got a flood of updates in Reader that are dupes of what I had already seen... but this time the links are correct. Not sure what's going on but I'm happy to have my feed back to normal.
- samspenc 13y agoYes fixed for me as well!
- esert 13y agoIt seems feed items are back to normal now.
