It seems that space would be perfect for the community title. If the titleโ€™s too long, it could be truncated with horizontal scrolling.

Edit: problem solved!

I didnโ€™t like it either. Luckily you can disable it in settings; Settings shortcut: General > Expanded Toolbar

IIRC that space is a standard design attribute of Androidโ€™s โ€œMaterial Youโ€

Previously on Sync, that space was used for subreddit banners, but Iโ€™m not sure if many Lemmy communities use a banner.

You carry a keyboard everywhere you take your phone?

I thought the sarcasm would be obvious but I guess not.

A bit of space is nice sometimes, especially around titles

Thatโ€™s a lot more than โ€œa bit,โ€ and spacing above titles only really makes sense when thereโ€™s content above it. This just suffocates the space available for the scrollable content.

One of my favorite things about the app is how it always conforms so perfectly to whatever Googleโ€™s design guidelines are at the time. Makes it feel coherent, like it really belongs on the phone.

IMO itโ€™s a non-problem, because itโ€™s not permanent, it dissapears if you start scrolling and enables you to reach it with your thumb
