Hi, Our daily update posts here - forum.stakingdefense.org Are overwhelming the other types of posts. Is it possible to exclude posts from the daily-network-updates category from displaying on the home page? Thank you!

In above screenshot, the total user count (30) is fetched from the about model (about.json URL). Now I’m trying to include it in the site settings page model itself.
