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.

Thats subjective. Different people have different opinions on how this should work. Making the default open in the current tab still allows you to have the alternate behaviour with ctrl+click or middle-click. The reverse does not.
A simple checkbox in the settings allows users to choose which option they’d prefer.
“just add a setting” is generally bad software design. If you have a million toggle switches, it makes it difficult to test the various combinations.
Sometimes an option is useful enough that it’s worth adding to settings. I don’t think this is one of them. Just use middle click or Ctrl+click or back arrow.
It’s overriding my browser preferences. That should not happen.

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:
