The only measure I know of that might make it more efficient to catch up on recent comments is for you to go to your preferences page, and where it says "Display 50 comments by default," change the "50" to some larger number. I have been using "200" on a very slow (33.6 K bits/sec) connection.
Are there periods in your life when you read or at least skim every comment made on Less Wrong? The reason I ask is that I am a computer programmer, and every now and then I imagine ways of making the software behind Less Wrong easier to use. To do that effectively, I need to know things about how people use Less Wrong.
Here's my wishlist:
As much trn functionality as it seems to be worth coding-- in particular, the ability to default to only seeing unread comments (or at least a Recent Comments for posts as well as for the whole site) while reading comments to a post while having easy access to old comments. the ability to default to not seeing chosen threads and sub-threads, and tree navigation.
If you want to find out how people generally use the site, I think a top level post asking about it is the only way to get the questions noticed. If you post it, I'll upvote it.
