If I'm on a feed, say All, then I accidentally open the communities side bar, I cannot for the life of me work out how to close it without having to choose a feed or community, triggering a refresh.

This is worse when I'm on a post. I am here reading the comments in a post and accidentally open the communities side menu, how do I close it and stay on the post? I have almost no chance of finding that same post again πŸ™

Strange, we have 4 peoples for whom it’s happening way too often, meanwhile I barely even see the communities sidebar and I really have to look for it.

I’m also unable to open this sidebar when I’m on a post.

I’m on iPhone, if that helps. Are you all 4 on android and this could be some sort of different gesture between the two OS?

Or, kinda dumb hypothesis, are you all left handed? The communities button is on the top left so maybe scrolling with your left hand makes it more prone to touch that button?

    Not left handed but yes I'm on Android, maybe it's an Android specific bug. I had previously assumed a skill issue but maybe there's actually a bug here.

    Regardless, even just accidentally opening the side menu when I've scrolled way down the feed is annoying as you can't get back to where you were. You can do that with a swipe in the wrong direction, even if all gestures are disabled.
