This is an alternate way of approaching ["Bump" selected topics in subcategories to display in the higher-level category?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bump-selected-topics-in-subcategories-to-display-in-the-higher-level-category/213549).
Basically, I find both of the “Show subcategory list above topics in this category” options to be _too heavy_. They are above and more prominent than topics in the higher-level category itself. I’d like a layout where the most general (and correspondingly _most important_) topics are in the higher-level category, with subcategories that drill down. The existing options work well for something like [Feature - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/c/feature/2), where it’s basically the opposite — announcements are a called-out subset.
Is there a layout which puts subcategories _below_ the “main” category posts? Or, since it’s an infinite-scroll list, maybe … in the middle? … with the most recent N posts from the main category above, then subcategories, _then_ older topics?

Maybe if you showed a mockup of what you mean visually? That’d help.
