[Request] Swipe left from homescreen to open the hamburger menu
Update:
This is an example of what I want to open the hamburger menu. https://sendvid.com/328hidfa
Original post:
Up until the latest update, pressing back from the homepage would open the hamburger menu allowing for easy access to jump to a specific community or go to your profile etc.
I agree with people that this action being caused by the "back" key was unintuitive and unexpected and much prefer the new and more obvious result of pressing back from the homepage which is to exit the app. However, there is now no longer a way to easily open the hamburger menu when browsing one-handed and this is an oversight!
I propose that a "left swipe" from the homepage opens up this menu (currently swiping left from the homepage does nothing)

Isn't this already a thing? In settings
Swipe NavigationSwipe navigation works everywhere except from the homescreen. I'm requesting that it work there also.
What do you consider the home screen? It works for me as soon as the app loads.
What do you mean by "home screen"
The Frontpage. Mine is my subscribed feed but if you haven't set this as the default view then I guess it displays the local feed for the instance you are registered on.
Sounds like some bugs. On my Frontpage I can do the left nav swipe action, and it doesn't show

By homepage do you mean post view? If so, swiping from left to right in post view should work to open the nav panel as long as you have swipe navigation enabled.
By homepage I mean Frontpage (the screen with all the posts that loads when you open the app). Swiping from left to right from a post itself takes you back to the Frontpage but swiping from left to right from the Frontpage does nothing (this is what I want to open the hamburger menu). I have swipe navigation enabled and use it to navigate throughout the rest of the app. There is currently no way to open the hamburger menu via a swipe action from the Frontpage (you have to tap the 3 lines at the top of the screen which is not easy to do with 1 hand)
