The item link should be https://redlib.freedit.eu/r/rust/comments/1eldoar/sqruff_our_experience_translating_sqlfluff_from/ and not <link>https://www.quary.dev/blog/sqruff-launch</link>
To be honest I made this decision consciously - I don't know if it was the right one, but I thought it was bad UX to see a news headline and open it, then it opens the item instead of the linked content. Open to changing this though. Will give it some thought

You can't view any comments and I don't think it's acceptable.
Maybe you can learn from hackernews, adding comments link in description

In the case of hosted content on reddit, like pictures, it becomes weird when we're trying to avoid using reddit directly in the first place.
e.g https://redlib.freedit.eu/r/pictures
Browsing website directly https://redlib.freedit.eu/img/dhr45f8jzdhd1.png Using RSS https://i.redd.it/dhr45f8jzdhd1.png
I agree that RSS item link should be instance item.
