These days I’m actively curating the topics on our discourse to help with discoverability, so I’m marking the main content written by my team as pinned globally. When I do that, my head appears on all the topics in the front page, which looks a little scary 😵‍💫

 ![Ekrankopio de 2024-11-09 12-21-14](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/1/d/81d0142ab6de299d45e038ca11d46e30f0ecd040.png)

I would like the original author or the latest poster to appear instead. Many more faces in the main page looks more welcoming.

Does this make sense to others? Can we have it please? 🙂
