ETA Someone suggested I try a different interface, and turns out it works fine in alex.lemmy.ca, just not lemmy.ca. So problem is at least kind of solved! Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to help!

In your browser settings see if your settings are set to open links in new tabs.

Ya, I checked it a couple of times to be sure... even unchecked it, then checked it off again and it's still not working.

Does this behavior work as expected on other sites?

Do you have another browser you could try it in. It may be your browser not the website. If it does work in a different browser as expected then its not the site.

I always set my browsers to open links in new tabs, but just tried with a different browser in case and it still didn't work in the other browser.
