I’m using Discourse internally at a large organization that has people working in many different offices on vastly different types of research projects. We’re getting complaints that users are unable to really “parse” the default landing page and would prefer to have an easier way to get to the categories specific to their research areas.

What I propose is this:

- allow users to “favorite” or “star” or “bookmark” categories of interest.
- when they visit the categories or bookmarks page, those categories appear at the top of the list.

This would just give users a simple way to isolate categories of most interest.

I’d love to see an alternate landing/latest page that only showed posts from the favorite categories, but IIRC, that’s been debated here previously and shot down.
