Why all this unused space at the top?

It seems that space would be perfect for the community title. If the title's too long, it could be truncated with horizontal scrolling.

I didn't like it either. Luckily you can disable it in settings; Settings shortcut: General > Expanded Toolbar
- Oh! Problem solved, thanks!
IIRC that space is a standard design attribute of Android's "Material You"
- Previously on Sync, that space was used for subreddit banners, but I'm not sure if many Lemmy communities use a banner.
- Designers, smh. Gimme a tiling Lemmy manager with maximum efficiency via keyboard only bindings.
  
  You carry a keyboard everywhere you take your phone?
So you can reach the top one-handed
- Why ... are you using lemmy... one-handed? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  
  I see we really did bring the Reddit jokes to Lemmy
  
  Lenny face on lemmy. Heh.
A bit of space is nice sometimes, especially around titles
- That's a lot more than "a bit," and spacing above titles only really makes sense when there's content above it. This just suffocates the space available for the scrollable content.
  
  All part of material design
  
  As soon as you scroll the whitespace goes away. It's meant to make things reachable with one hand. Both Google and Samsungs design guidelines recommend doing this.
IMO it's a non-problem, because it's not permanent, it dissapears if you start scrolling and enables you to reach it with your thumb
