@cheeaun@mastodon.socialNeat ideas for navigating threaded comments & new comments highlighting. I kinda thought of this but really wonder about its usefulness.
- If there's too much nesting of comments, the sidebar space won't be enough
- It shows "[INT] [NAME]" where INT = vote count. Higher count is probably more read-worthy?
- Per-day filter for new comments highlighting is probably too broad in scope if the conversation is too active.
- Sidebar won't appear on sma…
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafeThe removal of TrueNAS legacy (CORE) leaves space for a tenth button.
What would you like?
The button need not be FreeBSD-specific. Discussions frequently attract users of other systems.
The sidebar of r/freebsd is crowded (very tall), and this cluster of buttons is relatively far down, so I doubt that it will gain much attention. Still, cafe community thoughts are welcome.
Three screenshots:

@aardrian@toot.cafeIf you hate that largely pointless LinkedIn sidebar:
```
.scaffold-layout__aside {
display: none;
}
.scaffold-layout--reflow .scaffold-layout__content--sidebar-main-aside {
grid-template-areas: "sidebar main main";
}
```
Because I was forced to use LinkedIn today.
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe@… thanks, getting started is already the first menu item in the FreeBSD Foundation menu button – amongst the five community bookmarks, which are as high as possible in the sidebar.
It might have been added at the suggestion of @…

@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe@… people complaining about the option of using a chatbot, in a sidebar of Firefox, caused me to occasionally experiment with chatbots in the sidebar.
When people make unreasonable demands: the listener will do the opposite of what's demanded.
Human nature.
@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaWhile the official Mastodon app is pretty good on phone, the gigantic sidebar looks ridiculous on an iPad Mini and there seems to be no adjustment options. Sigh. Next.
@AthanSpod@social.linux.pizza @jeang3nie@social.linux.pizza#Sunstone browser now has a start page, with default search provided by DuckDuckGo. All of Sunstone's internal pages are going to be linked through the menu bar provided in the default page template. I am no web designer, but I've taken time to make the design responsive and hopefully nice and cleanly functional. Shrink the page down past a certain level and the sidebar becomes a top…
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe@… the FreeBSD subreddit has never been official, this was clarified years ago when the visual identity changed there.
