You’re right! That’s perfect! that’s what i was looking for, now i have a name to it. thank you. i think it would maybe work well enough if the sidebar could link to related communities?
I appreciate so much when communities do this. Often the mods are extremely lazy though and don’t bother, or if they do then they do not keep it maintained.
In fairness, some apps seem to do everything in their power to actively hide sidebar as much as possible, for some reason, burying it behind MANY clicks and adding the need to also scroll down sometimes quite large lists of options too.
People seem to forget just how technically far behind Reddit we all still are on the Threadiverse. Nowadays, PieFed even has some features that Reddit itself lacks (bc many of their “features” added in recent years were for increasing their revenue stream, rather than anything that the users themselves wanted), but even PieFed has several broken components.
So if the goal is to make a better Reddit, while keeping it free, and also getting there quickly… well, that’s just not realistic, some compromises are going to necessarily end up being made.
