Why does clicking on a link bring me to the comment page instead of the link? (kbin.social)

Clicking on posts pointing outside kbin brings me to its comment page instead of the linked page. I have to click through another time from the comment page to finally get to the article. Is this a deliberate choice, and is there a config somewhere?

because this isn't old reddit?

On kbin it's actually a cross between old and new reddit. new reddit a link appears below the title when reading the thread. kbin the title is the link, but only when reading the thread.

I actually liked new reddit in compact mode, so used it that way since it was available, so not really much of a change. I've been using old.reddit a bit since this whole event, and it was so weird having to click on the comments to go to the comments, rather than the title of the post!

Either way, people are going to find it different.

It makes a lot more sense for the title to go to the actual linked article.
Why even have a usable comment button if the default behavior is for the title to link to the comments?
