    Used to have to follow to see news on the SharePoint home page or at least have it as on you frequent. However with new SharePoint home coming we’ll be able to direct them to the home comm site by default but that’s not quite ready yet.

    Ala work around might be org news. This should designate it to show for everyone.

    Set-spoorgnewssite powershell with url to that comm site will mark its news as the org source and I think should then promote the news for everyone regardless of following that site. After setting wait a bit and you should see the site of the news is on have a colored highlighted background. Then check users without. The article may need edit and republished after setting as well. Give that a whirl.
