Is is possible to make clicking on thread titles take you the link instead of the post? (kbin.social)

This is the way that Reddit and Hacker News function. When browsing the feed on those sites I middle click the post and the comments link to open both up in new tabs but on kbin both links open the same page.

Just my two cents: I prefer the way it is. The Hacker News way always trips me up, especially when switching from Apollo – where post titles link to the post. I realize how bad this is going to sound, but the OP and the comments are what I’m here for. I judge whether the linked content is worth visiting based on the comments, so that’s where I prefer to start.

RIF had it best. Click the thumbnail for the link, and the post title for the other options such as view comments.

This is how Apollo did it too. I miss it.
