Yes, I don't know how Community Feeds work currently, but I have the impression that all Discussion postings appear in the Community Feed, which means that noteworthy announcements are easily pushed down by anyone posting anything. (Maybe that's a design feature since the Community Feed might be intended to completely replace the Discussions.)

So the problem with new posts pushing down noteworthy announcements was part of FANDOM dev intentionally deciding not to implement or design in a "highlight" feature in Discussions. This feature was requested from day one, but FANDOM somehow internally justified it not being that important which ran counter to almost all the feedback about Discussions. You can see at Help:Discussions FAQ how they pretend announcements are supposed to represent a highlight feature replacement in Discussions.
