On my phone the Announcements category takes half the space but it almost never updates. For users who visit the site more than once a month it’s kind of a waste of screen real estate. Maybe we can just move it down and have `New to Julia` and `General Usage` at the top.

I still think it should be at the top but maybe we can reduce the number of posts it shows in the main feed to 1 or 2? @mbauman

It is a little funny how the phone view is so significantly different. This is definitely possible, ~~but it’s not a quick toggle and would require some theme hacking.~~

It is possible to change the layout and do not show categories as all, just the posts, with most recent first. I prefer that.

Oh wait, I found it: [How to increase number of posts on mobile on homepage? - support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-increase-number-of-posts-on-mobile-on-homepage/73066). I’ve reduced the number in Announcements to 2.

Yes, that’s possible as a user setting. You can change your preferred homepage view in [your interface preferences](https://discourse.julialang.org/my/preferences/interface).

Oh yes, it was not a question. Thanks anyway. 🙂
