You can try this tiny component: [GitHub - Arkshine/discourse-collapsed-sidebar-sections-by-default · GitHub](https://github.com/Arkshine/discourse-collapsed-sidebar-sections-by-default)

There are a few options. The default behavior is only TL0 users and anonymous are concerned, and the Community section is not collapsed.

I’m not happy with how it works, but I could not find another way, and it does the job. :smile:
