Does anyone else feel like this sort of threads/comments should be somehow better archived/presented/integrated? Threads like this are vanishing far to fast into oblivion. Low-hanging fruits of lesswrong: better "advertising" the possibilities/chances of the LW-network.

Examples include:

  • The thread where people offered listening-time to depressed people.
  • The thread with the ongoing survey for zip-codes of LWlers.
  • This mentoring-thread.

If there were ever an additional category besides Main and Discussion, I would vote for some kind of "sticky" category of a limited number of posts promoted from Discussion.

The quickest fix might be to just have a "sticky" tab next to Main and Discussion on the top.

Along with what the grandparent mentioned, this would also include: That month's Open Thread, and potential monthly book/media recommendations, Monthly quote thread, and other of the uber-useful non-Sequence posts.

Note: "Quickest" doesn't mean best solution. It just means something I think could be feasible for someone to actually do.
