Thanks! It wasn't obvious to me either. It'd be nice to see this in the "..." menu on the dashboard.

Could we add a filter to our dashboard to just see pinned posts?

can we have an enable/disable comments/discussion button, so my profile can just focus on my posts only?

that's not possible, if you want that then build a different client using dev.to api. even though that won't as much traffic as dev. but you'll be able to show people your blog.
