Hello Every time I hit an interesting post, it opens whatever web page in the same tab lemmy was opened, and thus I loose lemmy.

Is there a way to configure lemmy to open links in a new tab instead of the actual lemmy tab?

    Tons of reasons why this is a really bad idea, and I’m staunchly against it.

    • It breaks accessibility.
    • Its completely unpredictable. Which clicks open new tabs, and which ones don’t? How do I know a click won’t open a new tab?
    • Having every click just open in the same tab is predictable, explicit, and is the norm for most of the web (except the annoying sites which open things in new tabs regardless of if we want them to).
    • Its super easy on any browser to do anything @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml recommended.
      • Sites that open things in new tabs don’t give you that choice. It opens in a new tab whether you wanted it to or not.
