Very nice. I don't understand the paradigm where everything is spaced out and there's useless sidebars wasting space.

I general why does there have to be static sidebars that are rarely used. It causes the content body to be squeezed into tiny space. I will use the left menus when necessary which is not every single page view. In particular the right panel on lemmy and reddit have become cognitive blindspots. I will read the board description and decide to (or not to) click subscribe once. Otherwise it's like how my brain ignores my own nose.

Why did web design become this way?
