The discussion revolves around setting a category page as the default main page of a Discourse site. Ed_Bobkov asked how to achieve this, and pfaffman suggested using a theme component, Custom Homepage for Groups. simon offered an alternative solution by re-running the site’s setup wizard and selecting the categories page as the homepage. Jonathan5 also sought this functionality, and pfaffman confirmed that the theme component should work for this purpose.
I have this theme component:

I think that it does what you want (if you want to change it for everyone, then you could use that as the group). I don’t know that I’m using it anywhere, so I’m not entirely sure that it works, but I am fairly sure that it did on December 2, 2020.
Possibly something like what Jay posted above is what you’re looking for, but if all you want to do is set the homepage for your site to the categories page, the easiest way to do that is by re-running your site’s setup wizard. To do that, go to https://forum.example.com/wizard and click through the wizard’s steps until you get to the homepage step. That step allows you to preview and select the homepage options:
I’d also like to do this, i.e. have the page of a particular category (/c/category-name/) show up as the home page. Is it possible? Is this was the theme component above does (or did)?
I think Custom Homepage for Groups should do what you want.
