In my RSS apps, the top HN feed has always shown a page with a link to view comments. Alas trying out Readwise Reader which is amazing but a bug where feeds like HN, DF etc go straight to the external url bypassing the commentary content which is why most of us subscribe to these wildly popular feeds. In meantime, is there a top HN rss feed that just includes the HN links and not the external links so will work in rss reader that can’t handle it normally yet?
https://sumi.news shows separate links for comments and the article.
Did you find a way to get an rss of new front page links, but it'd link to the discussion rather than the url?
I've been using hnrss.org and it's great, but I'll also add a warning. Even the best HN commenters don't consistently write as well or as thoughtfully here as the typical blog, let alone a professional communicator, but they do tend to be very prolific. Therefore, the overall quality in my RSS stream has gone down a bit. Seems a bit more Twitter-like TBH. Maybe your RSS reader isn't the right place for HN content.
I don't know if you will agree, but even as a strong RSS user, I don't find RSS to be useful for HN. I tend to prefer the hckrnews.com interface - like a traditional RSS feed display, it is one-line per title, reverse chronological, but has some additional notations and sorts that are useful to me.
I think you'll have to use something like https://hnrss.github.io/
