why do threads that reference articles on outside sites redirect to kbin and not the outside site? (for example, worldnews often shows the external news site, but clicking the link takes you to a kbin (kbin.social)

@Cherbal
If you mean the link next to the title, that's just a link to the page for the domain on kbin. It's the exact same way old reddit worked (and still does if you use old.reddit.com).
If you want to actually visit the article itself, click on the title while viewing the comments. In the magazine feed the title links to the comments, but when viewing the comments, it links to the actual article.

Thank you!! I thought I'd clicked everywhere but I'll give this a try!

@Pamasich I knew it had to be something dumb, thanks for the help!
