preferences: Update inactive channels preference setting for new UI.

Browse Source 
"Hide" is a better verb with the channel folders UI.

Also automatically hide inactive channels at 20+ susbscribed channels,
as we have more content in the left sidebar now.

# Manage inactive channels
# Hide or reveal inactive channels
In normal Zulip usage, channels fall in and out of use. By default, Zulip
automatically moves channels that haven't been used in a while to the
**Inactive** section at the bottom of your channels list in the left sidebar.
This helps prevent low-traffic channels from cluttering the left sidebar.
To avoid clutter in the [left sidebar](/help/left-sidebar), Zulip automatically
hides channels with no recent messages if you're subscribed to 20+ channels. You
can [configure](#configure-hiding-inactive-channels) Zulip to show or hide
inactive channels regardless of how many you're subscribed to.
You can configure Zulip to move (demote) inactive channels more or less
aggressively. This is an advanced setting; you can safely ignore it if this
is your first time using Zulip.
It's easy to [reveal](#reveal-inactive-channels) or [find]() hidden inactive
channels if you need to access them.
### Manage inactive channels
## Reveal inactive channels
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|preferences}
{tab|desktop-web}
1. Under **Information**, configure **Demote inactive channels**.
1. In the left sidebar, scroll to the bottom of the list of channels in the
[folder](/help/channel-folders) you're viewing.
1. Click **inactive channels** to reveal inactive channels. If you don't see
this button, there are no inactive channels, or they are already revealed.
{end_tabs}
The default is **Automatic**, which demotes inactive channels once you're
subscribed to a minimum total number of channels. **Always** and **Never**
either demote or don't demote inactive channels regardless of how many
channels you have.
## Hide inactive channels
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
1. In the left sidebar, scroll to the bottom of the list of channels in the
[folder](/help/channel-folders) you're viewing.
1. Click **hide inactive channels**. If you don't see this button, there are no
inactive channels, or they are already hidden.
