Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?

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.

I really don't mind doing right-click-new-tab. What I don't like is, when you click back it often doesn't take you back to where you were before. So, totally agree with the request as it would leave you at your place.
Middle click (or command-click on Mac) will also open in a new tab in basically every browser.
Middle click works on a Mac too if you have a pointing device with one. My Logitech trackball does, but you have to push down the scroll wheel, so I never think about it.
Most mice have a middle click, it's pushing down the scroll wheel, this works on Windows, macOS and (most) Linuxes alike.
