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?

Hello !

I don't know a lot about CSS. But I what I was trying to do was : putting the side bar before the mainbar, with the same width as the main ; and hiding / showing it with an interaction (here hover a rectangle shown above the main bar).

A proper way to do it would certainly be having a page template that has a sidebar hide/show checkbox (or in HTML <details>, <summary> etc...), but this would mean a slightly different page layout (and as non-front-end dev I think I'm not the right person to ask ahah).
