How do people here consume Less Wrong? I just started reading and am looking for a good way to stay on top of posts and comments. Do you periodically check the website? Do you use an RSS feed? (which?) Or something else?
I use RSS for top level posts, and have an easily accessible bookmark to the comments page which I check more frequently than I should.
Same here.
When I'm actively following the site (visiting 3+ times a day), I primarily follow the new comments page. I only read top posts when I see that there's an interesting discussion going on about one of them, or if the post's title seems particularly interesting. (I do wind up reading a large portion of the top posts sooner or later, though.)
I have the 'recent posts' RSS feed in my reader for when I'm not actively following the site, but I only click through if something seems very interesting.
I read new posts as soon as I see them. I look at the comments through the recent comments bar, but that requires having the LW tab open more or less constantly. I also reread posts to get any comments I miss and to get a better sense of how the discussions are preceding.
I click on "Recent Comments" and read as far back as I have to until I've caught up. Reading backwards can be mentally tiring ... so I'm actually just skimming for interesting comments. When I find one that seems interesting, I read through that thread for the continuity of the discussion.
