Is there a way to distinguish or style a main community name in the sidebar, so it immediately stands out to new users (self.lemmy_support)

On futurology.today ( !futurology@futurology.today ) - our main community is https://futurology.today/c/futurology

However, we'd also like to have separate sections of the site for meta, casual chatting, etc Further along we might even want to have more separate sections by topic - AI, robotics, space, etc So far, I've been creating those as communities.

This all gets very confusing for new users, especially migrants from r/futurology on Reddit, who are often encountering the fediverse for the first time.

Any suggestions on how to handle this better?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !futurology@futurology.today
