Mobile nav UX

The current bottom nav and hamburger menu are at opposite ends of the screen which results in a disjoined user experience.

To access the bottom nav I have to first click on the hamburger menu, this opens both the side menu and the bottom nav at the same time - which is cognitive overload.

When I click on one of the Thread channels the bottom nav disappears, but I half expect it to be persistent.

I think a persistent bottom nav would be a better solution. We could then get rid of the hamburger icon.

The Home icon is a little confusing because Home is not yet "in the community", I still need to do another step before I can engage with community activity. A view of all the channels is the start of a users journey on the mobile app, but I'm not sure Home is the right label for it.

The Home icon also conflicts with the purpose of the hamburger.
