I dropped Feedly because I found that 90%+ of my feeds would only put the article title and the first sentence into the feed, then require I click the URL to pull up the full article.
It wasn't very fun constantly having to switch between my RSS app and my browser, so I just stopped using it.
Yeah this really sucks. I think some do this for paywall reasons, but there are definitely models out there to allow in-reader paywall access. Stratechery has an interesting approach - when you subscribe you get a unique feed that can be cancelled when you stop paying.
This is an issue with the site's RSS feed, not Feedly. Feedly has an option to open any individual feeds posts in an in-app browser directly (and if you're on iOS, even enable Reader mode!) to combat this, so you don't need to switch apps!
I use Reeder for iOS + Feedly. What the OP describes started happening to me with all sites at the same time 2 days ago. Interestingly, it does not happen on the main Feedly site. So I do think that Feedly is making the experience worse with third party readers. I would speculate that this is done because third party readers don’t show ads.
We let publishers decide whether to showcase their content via a full feed (ie. full text and multimedia content can be read through a reader app) or a partial feed (ie. only showing limited text, inviting readers to browse full-content directly on their website). The choice is entirely in their hands.
Some publishers offer full RSS feeds as one of the benefits of their subscriptions. It might be something to explore for your favorite must-read sources.
I use inoreader and had the same problem. But solved it by installing a plugin to Firefox, that closes current tab with back-button if you are at the start of history.
Inoreader also has a button to show full content. But it's not working for all feeds.
