Feature Request: The ability to resize the right sidebar with community info and have it scroll with the page. #47

Right now it looks like this:

The right sidebar takes up much more screen real-estate than the default Lemmy UI and even new reddit, and the content stays there no matter how much you scroll down. This makes it very distracting and uncomfortable to look at. The css resize property could be used to allow users to adjust the height by dragging the border horizontally, though I couldn't get it working with dev tools / inspect element.

Also, There should be a setting to make the content of the right sidebar scroll with the content, so if you scroll down enough then you don't see it at all.

You can hide the sidebar by clicking the >> button in the top right. image

Is hiding the sidebar good enough or do you want to still always have it visible but narrower?

I know you can hide the sidebar but I think users should be able to adjust the width depending on what they prefer. Dragging on the border horizontally would be a good way to do so.
