I wonder if I'm doing something wrong/ theres a setting somewhere, but pin posts aren't actually pin for me. I though this was just a thing on the Voyager app I use, but it's also the same when I access in on a browser via lemmy.nz

Lemmy has different pinning options. This post is pinned in "Community". If you go to !newzealand@lemmy.nz, you should see it at the top.

Lemmy can also pin for local users, in this case any users on Lemmy.nz would see the post at the top of the Local and All feeds. I haven't done this, as I find it annoying and suspect others would too.

Basically the idea is if you want to find it, it should be easy to find when going to that community page, but it shouldn't be in your face all the time.

Ahh ok that makes sense. I keep forgetting I'm not on the "NewZealand" Community, as I browse on the "Local" page(?) for all my NZ stuff, since I use Lemmy.nz

Thanks for the explanation 👍

Yeah, "Local" is like "All" but only for communities on Lemmy.nz. !newzealand@lemmy.nz is one specific community here, and there are a bunch of others. So you have to actually go into the community to see the pinned post, because that's how it's set up.

Having it pinned in Local but not in All would probably be OK, but I don't think that's currently possible.
