2: the ones that do either only offer the headline and then just a link to the web story, or if they give a full feed, inject ads into them, where you don’t have an adblocker to stop it

Thunderbird mostly solves this since it has a built-in browser and uBlock.

Agreed on 1) the lack of RSS feeds. Lemmy also has a problem that RSS feeds aren't federated, so commenting on new posts is very clunky.

You can however subscribe to your home feed in Lemmy, just like on Reddit, in which case it takes you to the post on your instance. That's the main function I lack in kbin.
