Removing category descriptions in main page, but retain them in individual category pages?

Yes, I know there’s a way to do that - I’ve forgotten how, though

Under admin > settings, you can search for a setting called desktop category page style

@vnadkarni

Is there a way to remove the category descriptions from here, while still retaining them in the individual category pages?

Some custom CSS should do it. If you go to admin > customize > themes and edit CSS/HTML… adding this to the common section should do it:

.categories-and-latest .category-description {
  display: none;
}
