MODERATORS
Reddit has option to always open in new tab, why doesn't lemmy just copy every feature that reddit already has?
Because we don't have millions of usd in venture capital funding. Just donations and volunteer work.
How someone doesn't know this in 2023 is surprising.
Can you middle click?
Not on mobile.
Voyager app seems good for this, links pop up in a new window.
Don't see it in the Play Store. Will try some other apps as a temporary measure before Boost for Lemmy gets released.
It's a web app but you can add it to your home screen if you go to "settings -> install".
It's really active on github with new features. Open source too. https://github.com/aeharding/voyager
Oooh, now I remeber. I've seen it but I didn't like it - looks like it's made by Apple... However I just installed Liftoff app and it's decent. Will use it til Boost comes out.
I did notice in the last update that they now have an option for a more Android-y look and feel.
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.
My problem is that if I click on a text post thumbnail expecting it to expand the preview like with image posts, it opens the post instead
