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.

target=_blank overrides the default behavior. If you want it in a new tab you can always do that, but if you do not there is no way to open it in the current window. Your browser shouldn’t do anything you don’t expect it to do. If you want all links to open in a new tab, there’s a setting for that in your browser.
How do I get all links on a specific website to open a new tab?
easiest way is to middle click them
I don’t really agree with this, though. I’m all about control or what have you, but I don’t feel that I’m in less control if I cannot leave Lemmy when clicking a link. I can’t see any flow where this is expected behavior other than the principle of not setting a target.
Lemmy overrides that setting. It works everywhere but here and it is irritating as hell.
