Reddit + FullTextRSS gets the Reddit page contents only #705

Currently a Reddit RSS feed such as http://www.reddit.com/r/science/new/.rss?sort=new has the link to the article in a link called "[link]" rather than from the article link itself. The article header link just links back to the Reddit page. This means that FullTextRSS gives you the text of the reddit page instead. It would be excellent if this could follow "[link]" to the original article instead to get the full text of the actual article.

@chr15m as far as I know, Fulltextrss does not support this fonctionnality, and I don't see how this could be done in an efficient way. So, I'm afraid selfoss won't implement it.
