Improving the category list in the hamburger menu

Or if a community has more than 10-15 categories, do we limit the list to most popular? Should we suppress subcategories by default (this is a common request). As a phase 2, could this be your most frequented categories?

I definitely favor shortening the hamburger list to the most active categories. Maybe the “easy” solution is to truncate it at top 6? Two rows of 3 each?

Or for the “easiest” solution, hamburger could simply have a link to the categories page..
