Why was “Profile”, “Inbox” and “Saved” switched with “Home”? On a big screen “Home” is all the way in the top right corner even though it is an action that is used way more than viewing your profile, inbox and/or saved posts/comments?

And there is no reason to have the menu that is accessed by your profile pic to be in the opposite corner. IMO this is all very unintuitive.

At least return the home menu point to the left column menu. Please.

It feels like these changes were mainly done for mobile and desktop was a bit forgotten.

    I’ll work on finding a layout that people will prefer. I made this the way it is because it’s the optimal positions for items on a bottom dock (which is great for mobile users) but I see where you’re coming from. I’d like to ask, is your main problem the positions of the elements or the elements themselves?

      Yeah I’m in the process of setting that up right now. But I’m having trouble with my reverse proxy (npm) and get a 502 when trying to access the site via my domain instead of the IP directly.

      Edit: I figured it out. I had to increase the proxy buffer size under the Advanced tab in the proxy host settings by adding:

      proxy_buffer_size   128k;
      proxy_buffers   4 256k;
      proxy_busy_buffers_size   256k;
      

      to Custom Nginx Configuration

    I feel the exact same way. Always loved Photon but this new change is not good. Changing fundamental navigation gestures and what not completely messed up the UX.
