not sure if this is an issue just with this instance, or a general lemmy problem.

I have the options "Open links in a new tab" checked, but nothing ever opens in a new tab. this has been a problem for me for almost 3 years on this instance. i just assumed it would be fixed in an update some day.

using firefox on debian, if that makes a difference

The feature was added a while back but I think it's at least partially broken.

Like it does open in a new tab if you click the preview, but not if you click anywhere else (including other places with the same icon).

(Tested on Firefox and chromium on Android)

Example:
example post and where to click to open in new tab

thanks for the explanation. would be nice if ALL links would open in a new tab, even the comment section, or opening a community link. but i guess that's something to reported to the lemmy devs.

thanks for the update and all you do in maintaining the instance!
