Update:

This is an example of what I want to open the hamburger menu. https://sendvid.com/328hidfa

Original post:

Up until the latest update, pressing back from the homepage would open the hamburger menu allowing for easy access to jump to a specific community or go to your profile etc.

I agree with people that this action being caused by the "back" key was unintuitive and unexpected and much prefer the new and more obvious result of pressing back from the homepage which is to exit the app. However, there is now no longer a way to easily open the hamburger menu when browsing one-handed and this is an oversight!

I propose that a "left swipe" from the homepage opens up this menu (currently swiping left from the homepage does nothing)
