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

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?

You can set the display name to use emoji or any other Unicode characters, including calligraphic alphanumerics.

eg !nemo@midwest.social
