If I understand right, adding "link=comments" to any hnrss URL should do the trick.

That did it indeed, thanks! I've learned a bit about RSS and my RSS app (Vienna for Mac) along the way. By default, the RSS reader displays the content of the "description" tag. When I select the "Load full HTML articles" checkbox for the feed in the RSS reader, it loads the actual comments page. I had this checkbox enabled for the default HN feed, but hadn't been aware of that. Anyhow, thanks again!
