Describe the bug It is annoying to switch between timelines

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the home timeline
  2. Click on the top left hamburger menu
  3. Click on the local timeline
  4. Rinse and repeat

Expected behavior I expect that on a desktop browser, I could look at a sidebar and switch more easily between timelines

Desktop (please complete the following information):

@lionirdeadman hi, you can try use the Shortcuts feature. Sorry, it's a bit unintuitive for now, so here's how to use it:

  1. open the nav menu
  2. go to Shortcuts Settings
  3. configure the "shortcuts" you want; in your case would be "Following" and "Public (Local)"
  4. check "Multi-column" mode
  5. done, go to your new "Home"
  6. Your "Home" is now a multi-column page with the chosen custom "shortcut"/timeline

Ah, hm, that works pretty well on mobile!

I'm not sure what it should be called to make it more obvious. I expected keyboard shortcuts.

I think that tab / menu bar should probably become a sidebar on desktop since it feels a bit unusual to have the bar on top like that. What do you think?

I also like the multi-column setup.

Thank you!
