Wondering if there's a way to make adjustments on #1.

Totally appreciate not having to scroll past the sidebar while mobile browsing now! But now users who do want or need to use the sidebar have to scroll past 100 posts just to get to it. Even scrolling past 25 is a lot and unlikely to happen. My concern is that sidebars is where sub rules are listed, also where "message the moderators" is ... and for mods who use mobile, where all their mod tools for the sub are.

I don't know how deep into design you are, but is there a way to make it operate like how a taskbar does on a Windows computer ... a taskbar can be dragged from the default bottom over to the left or right side of the screen now. So in this case, perhaps the sidebar could be a hidden expandable/collapsible "taskbar" using the dead space on the right side, which hides or displays once a sideways caret/chevron is tapped?

Sort of like what Reddit does with their "multi Reddit" feature on home pages. Theirs is on the left side though, and only accessible from the main home page. In my scenario, it would be that functionality, but for the sidebar of individual subs and only for mobile browsing.

Thanks for the idea, I'll think about it and see if it's feasible, but it sounds pretty tough compared to the changes I made so that would be a project in itself. I appreciate the feedback.

Yeah, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this kind of stuff ... I can manage to copy and tweak what other people do with CSS and HTML, but that's the extent of my skill.

Thanks for considering! Maybe there's another easier way it could be implemented on mobile, I'll keep thinking it over and let you know if I come up with any other ideas.
