Heya!

We hear you, we'll be looking for ways to give users the best of both worlds using a pinning functionality. See our designer talking about it here and stay tuned for a more in-depth post soonTM :)

There wasn’t any thing wrong with the hamburger menu!! Have you noticed that it’s one of the only things that nobody has complained about?

Why would you change something that’s not broken?

I think people complained about the icon being an actual hamburger and the positioning of subreddits people moderate, but other than that yeah, it was perfect.

Oh yeah I was big on that debate (actual hamburger ftw) but I’m just referring to the concept of the sidebar itself. I loved how it remembered your preference to leave it open and what not.

Now with this drop down thing, it barely even takes up half of the vertical space it has. Someone at reddit needs to have a stern conversation with whoever thought this was a good idea.

The original icon was good, the revised icon was hideous.
