There is no way to do this at the current time.

Sorry to bump this old request, but I’ve been asked for the same by our users. Is any progress likely?

It has been requested a few times, perhaps we can add it to @neil’s plate

I think I’ve requested this before, but I’ll voice my support here in case I haven’t. We use categories/latest on one of my sites, but would prefer to have just latest for mobile. Our current “hack” is a script that makes clicking the logo on mobile go to latest, but I’d love to just have it load right to latest instead 😃.

Is that something you could share? I’m not technical but I could pass it to our admin, as it sounds like a perfect workaround for now.

There’s some JavaScript here that changes the logo link. Put it in the mobile-only section of a theme component and it should work 🙂

> The compromise we reached on our forum was to Set categories as the homepage On mobile, make the logo link to /latest That way the categories view is welcoming to potentially new visitors, while regular users are just 1 tap away from the ‘latest’ page. The suggestion came from somewhere on meta, but I can’t find it right now. The code we use (in the Mobile “Header” section of CSS/HTML customisation) is \<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4"\> api.changeWidgetSetting('home-logo…
