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.

      So now I need to buy a mouse and sit at a desk in order to use Lemmy?

      C’mon. No other site behaves like this. It needs to be fixed.

        “To own a mouse, one must first buy a mouse.”

        • Carl Sagan

        Once you’ve crawled under that hurdle, you buy a hard mouse pad. Mine’s steel covered with a thin layer of plastic. Works great on the arm of a couch or just on a pillow.

        Now you can play first person shooters on the couch! Without the horrors of a controller.

        Navigating the web is easier. Everything is easier! It’s dreamy. Give it a try sometime.
