    Yeah this is always a tough one. I hate tutorials and personally would never read them and auto dismiss them. The best app designs are ones where actions are intuitive or at the very least discoverable. This is a flaw of the “hamburger menu”. It’s not intuitive and it’s usually hard to discover. In my past apps I constantly got feature requests to features that already existed in the side menu. Moving to the bottom menu pretty much got rid of all those bug reports despite a lot of people not liking it because it takes up screen space.

    For Summit, I’m not sure what to do just yet. Technically the side menu has a button dedicated to it in the overflow menu so it’s slightly discoverable but it’s still buried. I think I’d have to think about it more. Maybe I can add a button to the “community browser”.

      I’m confused as to how the “hambbuger menu” is not intuitive. It’s one of the first things people look for and if it is not there, they will see if the top right or left have a button that does the basically the same thing. And therefore, makes it one of the most intuitive things that an app like a Lemmy client can have.
