Curious on if other people even like this, but personally I’d like to throw out an idea for a new two column layout similar to Narwhal.

Curious if other people like this, or if it could be added as an option.

This would be cool.

I did look into implementing something similar to this in the past, but there are some tricky UX problems associated with this design. Most prominently: if a user taps on a community link in a comment, what do we do? The intuitive option would be to slide a new page over both the sidebar and content panes, but unfortunately iOS only allows us to slide new pages over the rightmost pane. I might take a look at how Narwhal handles that 🤔

At the moment, we are focusing on implementing support for iOS 26, and following that we’ll be working on support for Lemmy 1.0. I’d love to revisit this at some point, but we can’t make any promises on when that might happen.

We’re open to contributions if anyone is interested in implementing something like this :)
