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.

It'd be nice to have that as an option to help ease in new users, though I personally prefer having the thread title take me to the thread and not the link.

Interestingly, when I started using Reddit years ago, I had a hard time adjusting to post titles taking me to their links and not their comment sections. I was used to how Slashdot did it, which is identical to how Kbin does it now. IMO, it feels nice going back to the Slashdot way of doing things.
