[Help] How do I close the menu without refreshing the feed? (lemmy.nz)

If I'm on a feed, say All, then I accidentally open the communities side bar, I cannot for the life of me work out how to close it without having to choose a feed or community, triggering a refresh.

This is worse when I'm on a post. I am here reading the comments in a post and accidentally open the communities side menu, how do I close it and stay on the post? I have almost no chance of finding that same post again 🙁

Me too. I’ve personally never faced the bug you’ve mentioned myself but I do sometimes accidentally end up opening the communities sidebar and end up losing my place in the feed because I can’t just dismiss the sidebar. I have to select something and that will end up refreshing my feed. If we could just have a close button on the sidebar that would help immensely.

What if there was a setting that would make a toast message come up “swipe again to close feed”?

It would only activate/apply if the thing to swipe to is the communities list.

I’d have to do some testing but that wouldn’t be that hard to implement.

Not sure I fully understand. Did you mean swipe again to close feed or sidebar ? Just to be clear, what I’m looking for is a way to NOT close/refresh feed but to just dismiss the sidebar.

I also didn’t fully understand the proposed solution. Are you saying that there already exists a way to do it now and all that is required is to show a toast to educate users on how to do it ? If so, I’d be happy to try that solution and see if works and if it does, showing a toast would certainly help. Or are you saying the default behaviour needs to be changed and the toast is just a bonus to let users know about the change ?
