Good idea for a way to deal with the excess pinning.

Maybe it would be ideal to display 2 or 3 pinned posts for ensured visibility of key current posts.

I think that this would work well on a Desktop and could vary 2 or 3 depending upon screen width 👍

Would it be possible to choose what you want to see regarding pinned posts?
For example contest posts. That would be awesome.

I think that might be too resource-intensive - especially in the communities that have 50+ pinned posts!

I could potentially include a link to "see all pinned" or similar - which would return the user to the existing view if they didn't want to tab through 🤔

Umh.. the latter could work. Thank you!

I wish those "old pinned" posts could be removed automatically after seven days, as nothing frustrates me more than seeing contest posts that are two months old still pinned.

On the flip side, there are posts like information or meet the team posts that needs to stay pinned.

Yes, it's generally the "welcome" or "community rules" that are pinned for a long time, sometimes years and I feel uncomfortable that these will be hidden from initial view.

I could work on the opposite approach where the initial view shows all of the pinned posts and when the user selects "Collapse Pinned", then they can disappear and that setting can remain stored on their computer. It's probably the people who visit a community regularly that get most annoyed by having to scroll past the pinned posts every time so this feels like a better solution. Thank you BFF3Bs.

The pleasure is all mine!
Thank you for the suggested solution. We have this saying in my home language, Afrikaans. "Dit is vreelik dat so 'n brein moet vrot."
