Feature request - Swipe right for subscribed communities (self.memmy)

Obviously this is just a request and not a demand.

I have been enjoying my usage on the app immensely, but the one thing that is disrupting my workflow the most is the inability to swipe anwhere to the right/swipe from the left side of the screen to the right to access my subscribed communities.

I enjoy viewing my community pages to see all of the new posts submitted there, and then moving on to the next community. As my fingers are already swiping on the bottom half of the screen, it would be extremely useful to just swipe right to access a sidebar where I can see the other communities. Would something like this be possible, and put in the pipeline?

Apollo had swipe left for subscriptions. Currently the star is top left but the panel opens on the right which feels a bit ‘wrong’ considering where the button to open it is.

Maybe it could be switched to the left, for those of us with muscle memory and a deep sense of loss :)

But you had to swipe to the right in Apollo too to open the subreddit panel and swipe left to open the sidebar.

Yes, sorry—swipe right / swipe from the left. That’s what I meant. It feels like the feed panel in Memmy is on the ‘wrong’ side for where the star button is

Have a look at wefwef.app. That’s pretty close to what I remember.

I love the fact there are so many people working on this. I do wonder if some consolidation of effort (where the stacks align of course) could lead to even better / faster progress though.
