A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you previously preferred browsing old.reddit for its compact and information dense web layout, you should know that this theme can be replicated for Lemmy using monkey scripts.

I had a "hide sidebar" bookmarklet for Reddit that lived in my favorites bar and got used dozens of times a day. I didn't mind so much when Reddit was fullscreen, but when I was cramming it in with other windows on my desktop that extra real estate made a huge difference.

Personally I see the value of the sidebar but I think it would work better as a fly-out UI element that can be reduced or hidden, and stays that way until opened up again. I'm in the process of trying to stand up my own instance to see how that could be done.
