Is there a setting to always open external links in another tab
No there isn't. The Lemmy devs decided that is not a function they will implement and they are odd for not doing it.
As a workaround you can use your mouse wheel button to open stuff in new tabs.
Fuck usability I guess. What if people are browsing on a laptop with a touch pad? It's such an easy to implement thing too.
I know. It is such a pain. You can also hold Ctrl when clicking a link to open in a new tab.
Oh also, Thanks!
