It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

      I found a bunch in Firefox config settings. One was so extreme that on Kbin, refreshing the feed would open a new tab. In Lemmy, nope, didn’t work.

        Calling BS on that. There is nothing in lemmy’s link that would force opening in the same tab. Proof:

        • there is nothing preventing middle-click/shift-click/context menu from actually working as intended
        • there is nothing on the a elements related to that, anyone can see it on every page
