SharePoint Promote Sites
- Jul 22, 2019
Pn1995 If you are a SharePoint or Global admin you can add links under the 'Featured Links' section of the menu in SharePoint Home. Here is the article on it https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/change-links-list-on-sharepoint-home-page
Tanya Denton is spot on here. only current way is to add to that left rail site list. There isn't a way that I've seen to follow sites on behalf of users so you can't really get them to have it in their list by default.
At SPC they demo'd SharePoint Home which will let you replace the SharePoint icon default site with a site of your choosing so that will solve this issue when it gets released over the next quarter or two.
You also have the option of Adding a Logo next to the waffle bar in O365 in org setitngs that lets you direct to an intranet page when clicked on. And there is always the old fashion DNS Redirect Service or IIS server redirect that can take a simple memorable such as home.domain.com and take you to the page of choosing.
Anyway, good luck! Eagerly awaiting the Home feature :)
