Is there any way for a normal user to pin some topics as favourites to stay top of the feed? 
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the ability to pin favorite topics to the top of the feed in Discourse. Currently, only mods and admins have this ability, but users can bookmark posts as a workaround. Yu_Gong1 suggested this feature, citing its usefulness for their community where users discuss specific stocks. Thomas_G mentioned that this feature has been requested previously.
As an alternative, users can add Bookmarks to their Top Menu, making it easily accessible merefield. martin plans to allow users to pin bookmarks to the top of their bookmark list, and codinghorror has implemented this feature. However, Paracelsus suggested adding this feature to the “other” bookmark list, but codinghorror stated that this is not currently possible.
Currently not. Only mods & admins have this ability. You can keep some posts as your favourite ones by bookmarking them. That’s the reason of a bookmark actually.

yeah thats what i thought. But this could be a nice feature for example our service is for investors to talk about specific stocks and every topic is for some specific stock for following whats happening to the stock. And it would be useful to pin some interesting topics for yourself. https://keskustelut.inderes.fi/
It has already been requested though:

Great idea for a plugin or TC.
I guess the closest thing is Bookmarks.
Whilst this hides them behind some UI, it solves your problem:
For a solution that impacts the front page for all you could use Featured Images in:
But I’m guessing you probably don’t want to have it impact all users.

I also have plans at some point to allow you to pin bookmarks to the top of your Discourse Meta - The Official Support Forum for Discourse list, because that list is currently sorted by the updated at date for each bookmark.

Would it be possible to also add this option to the “other” bookmark list? Bookmarks topics - Discourse Meta This list is a bit more on par with the latest list and more easily accessed (at least for those who have the link in the navbar).
