2 months ago This is intentional, because the sidebars are meant for convenience if your screen size allows it.
Every single action in the sidebars is accessible some other way. if you want to view your profile actions, click the main menu. if you want to go through your subscribed communities, search for it in the command palette (press /)

2 months ago I guess I could do that but I dislike drawer UI. Where would I put the drawer button?

That's the one thing I've been struggling with. I don't have a great solution.
Some apps use the navbar, but they have less stuff there. We don't have the space, so something has to go. It wouldn't be catastrophic to move admin/modlog to the sidebar. See how reddit adds the button when the screen width is too small.
We have space at the top, but it would only be accessible when scrolled to the top. This would also look worse in community headers and other page types. concept art
Some apps, like voyager have multiple bars, but I don't like this solution. concept art
Floating button, but I dislike these and don't think it would fit. concept art

2 months ago @sevonj Something like that would be useful for sure.
Maybe it could just be added with another hotkey similar to the command palette?

Nobody would find that, which is already an issue with the command palette. It would also be inaccessible to mobile users.
On desktop when I have the window in splitscreen view, the sidebars on either side are not available. I have to maximize the window to view them.
