Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

On Lemmy.world when i click a link and then hit the back button, the entire page refreshes. That's sucky. Is there a setting in web browsers that can either make a page not refresh, or make that site always open links in a new tab?

Always open in new tab is a browser setting, but on most OSes you can also middle click your mouse button or ctrl + click and it should open it as a new tab regardless of settings.

I'm on mobile. I don't see an option like that in any of the browsers i use. What's the name of that setting?

On mobile, just long press > open link in new tab

What browser(s) are you using?

Here it is for Firefox (the best mobile browser):

If you're on iOS, all your browser are basically just Safari skins unfortunately. Edit: Actually, it looks like Safari has that setting too https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/02/22/safari-open-links-new-tabs/
