Allow collapsing of side menus (media.piefed.social)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by ozoned@piefed.social to c/piefed_meta@piefed.social
 

When you're subscribed to a lot of communities it creates a massive list down the side of the page. This leaves a TON of white space. Is there a way to collapse those menus by default to allow for a shorter cleaner looking page?

Hey,

I'm new to piefed, and this is already an issue for me.

Currently I am using a simple custom CSS, which is not completely tested. Instead of collapsing the bar, it put it at the bottom of the page, and attribute the whole width to the main column :

div.row {  
  display: block;  
}  
div.row .col-lg-8,  
.side_pane {  
  width: 90%;  
  margin: 0 auto;  
}  

Hope it will help :3

here is some screenshots, notice how the filters for the post feed are not properly aligned. This is not much of an issue for me, but can be improved

Screenshot of a feed using the CSS, the middle column now takes the full width, without the right bar

Screenshot of the community message feed, the filters are not properly aligned, but are usable

Screenshot of comments, those are correctly aligned and takes the full width
