I think the only thing that's really missing for me and not just from old.lemmy.world but from the normal Lemmy UI. The ability to have clicking on links open in a new tab. I don't know why but I just really like having stuff open in a new tab so I can then come back to exactly where I left off.

Regardless this looks crazy good.

Middle clicking a link (clicking with the mouse wheel) or ctrl clicking, opens links in a new tab.

Middle clicking also closes a tab of you middle click on it.

I knew about Ctrl+click but not about middle mouse click. TIL :)

Unfortunately it only opens in the background and doesn't open in a new tab and switch to it. I usually use both.

Pssst... Shift + middle click.

Oh cool! Thank you! Now to begin the arduous process of training a new workflow into muscle memory. :)

Oh hey, I'm not alone! So I wrote a script that emulates Reddit's behavior when you have checked the "open links in a new tab" option in your user settings.

Edit: You can apply the code to a bookmarklet, and when you go to old.lemmy and click the bookmarklet, links will behave like you like. The downside is every time you load a new page, you have to click it again.

If you prefer, you can use the same code as a Tampermonkey userscript and it will apply it to the site automagically. I put both versions of the script at this pastebin link:
