Provide link to OG posts on aggregator sites, as well as linking straight to the content posted #207

Before you start.

My great idea for Fraidycat is: When subscribed to a feed from lobste.rs or reddit or another aggregator is there a way to also provide a link back to the original post on the service so that you can easily reach the post's comments?

Typically the link just launches you directly to the content shared through the aggregator.

This may very well be impossible, since as far as I can tell, the feeds don't predictably offer a way to know anything about the post itself.

...perhaps less of a feature request and more of a dream

This will actually improve once I finish #30. Unfortunately I'm wrapped up in another project at the moment - but in the next few months I will get back to the rich post view - which allows you to see more details on each post - including the comments link on posts like this.

So - thank you for this suggestion, Eli. I'll leave this here so I can ensure it all works when I return to finish.

I'm glad my babel-y nearly incoherent feature request made any sense!

Thanks!
