Mastodon: Not all hashtags are shown on a smaller screen < 1080p

[akarshanbiswas]

Smaller screens like those on a laptop is unable to show all the trending hashtags.

Expected behaviour

It should show all the trending hashtags like on a bigger screen (like >=1080p)

Actual behaviour

Only one hashtag is shown and rest are hidden.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Open mastodon on a smaller screen (< 1080p)
2. Make sure more than two hashtags are trending
3. Observe the position of the hashtags.

This is intentional since they should not displace the more important navigation.

@Gargron I wish the navigation panel could be scrollable atleast. :(

Edit: Nevermind. If this was intentional,I guess, we can close this issue.

I'm sorry , I have to reopen this issue because it's a major problem. Shouldn't the UI adjust itself to different screens sizes and densities in the first place? The new menu "Profile directory" further hid the hastags and now not even a single hashtags is displayed. Can you please move hastags on the top right corner of the screen with a scrollable menu bar (home,notification,.....)?

@Gargron

Edit: Looks like moving the trends container to the top doesn't do any good. :/

Now I have to find a different approach! :/

Floating this issue up - a user on my instance literally didn't know that trending hashtags were a thing because their display resolution was such that a maximised Safari window didn't have the height needed for trending hashtags to be displayed. There should definitely be a better option than just yeeting it entirely from the things the user can see.

I'm on an 11-inch MacBook Air, I have my dock at the bottom and I use the bookmarks bar. It's a normal laptop, not a particularly tiny one! I already have to scroll the Getting Started column anyway. Why not include the trending tags?
