Thanks for linking the PR. We forked in August of 2021 and have the same code and feature.
For the admin announcement use case, there's a specific feature again inherited at time of fork to make server announcements that show above the home timeline.
Ok, that's weird. My admin account wasn't showing the pin on profile option, but my user account is.
I have Pin on Profile for my own toots on an admin profile, just can't pin anyone else's toots. If it's not working for you, it'd be neat to see a screenshot and know the installation method. Otherwise, feel free to close.
Moderator user sees this Admin user sees this: And the posts from my Admin user account, which I have marked to be only visible to other users of my instance, don't show up on the local timeline at all, nor when I view the Admin account's profile when logged in as my other user. I installed using the instructions on https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko/blob/main/docs/INSTALL.md, with the addition of extracting the static files so they are served direct by nginx, and I can replace images more easily.
Ok, it seems to be the "Visible only to users of my instance" security option that's stopping it from appearing at all. I expected such a post to show up on the local timeline at least, but it doesn't. I've updated the title.
Mastodon 4.0 introduced an option to pin a post to the user's profile page, ensuring it stays at the top of the posts list when a user's profile is viewed. I think this is a good feature which I want to use as a server admin to have hints and tips hold position on my admin profile while announcements relating to server upgrades, downtime, etc are handled in a normal timeline.
Proposed fix - merge new code from https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/4675 and related changes
