New layout feels atrocious (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?
