Opposite for me. Didn’t work in Chrome before, but now when I go back it holds my spot.

I always open in a new tab (middle mouse or right mouse -> option) mainly because Lemmy doesn’t hold your place reliably on back even with the older version. They’re also working on adding a setting to always open in a new tab (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/282)

You can also hold CTRL while clicking to open a link in a new tab, which is my way to go.

That has been the case for me before v18 tho

Not for me and my friend on our own instance, 0.17.4 used to return me to where the feed previously was. In 0.18.0 when I get back from the post, it causes a full refresh of the home page/feed

Huh strange. On my home instance vlemmy.net which is now running v18 I only just now have this problem, on browser and on Jerboa. When I few from other instances everything works fine

I’m seeing the same. My instance was upgraded last night, now the front page reloads everytime I go back. Testing on Firefox on Android, not sure of other setups.

Specially with posts dynamically reloading.

This is nothing compared to: taking you to the top of the page and undoing all collapsed comments when you click up/downvote. :( UI stuff is hard. Not sarcasm.

I think you’re looking for https://github.com/LemmyNet not /c/Technology.

I think it’s getting to be about time to unsub from here until people start to realize this isn’t /c/techsupport /c/reddit /c/ihaveanopinionithinkeveryoneshouldhear etc… This community is meant to be about “Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere.”, not whatever issue you are having with whatever app, or whatever latest bs reddit has pulled or worst yet, peoples microblogs about crap they think others should care about.

There are so many proper places for things like that, yet people keep cluttering up this community instead.

Also. can we have an option for links to magazines/content opening in a new window/tab? Obviously ctrl-click, shift-click, or right click <…> solves the problem but not needing two hands/multiple clicks to avoid losing the current page would be fab.

Middle-click might be an option for you too. One handed operation and I’m pretty sure it works on most browsers.

but not needing two hands/multiple clicks

Middle click isn’t multiple clicks. Instead of a single left click on the link you do a single middle click on the link. Just a single press to the scroll wheel on most mouse.

You have to make a second click to see the opened tab.

Just an FYI, I doubt the Lemmy developers are paying attention to BeeHaw’s technology community. This might be more effective as a feature request on the Lemmy GitHub.

I’m not on Lemmy. I posted in my kbin instance.

You’re posting to the beehaw tech news community (“magazine”) though.

I think the place for kbin feature requests is: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues

Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
