Links won't open in new tab. (lemmy.ca)

In settings, I've checked 'open links in new tab', but it doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

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!

When I click on an external link it does open in a new tab for me. 🤔

Hmm, doesn't work for me... I'm constantly surfing away then having to come back. It's minor, but annoying.

Just to confirm, this option is for external links, not links within the current domain (lemmy.ca).

The option doesn't specify external or internal where you check it off, so I assumed it was for all links... but it doesn't matter cause it's not working for either... I just double-checked to make sure.
