It's definitely significant that we haven't had new promoted content in a while. But the front page should provide newcomers to the site with immediate, quality content, whether old or new. It was suggested recently to have the front page cycle through the sequences. (I think the comment got a lot of upvotes, but nothing seems to have happened since then).

Reducing Meetups to a line and including more content (even if it has to be repeated) would be a decent solution. Who exactly is responsible for promoting content?

Yeah, recycling the sequences was my proposal :) My current approach to that is to make a bot that auto-posts the sequences at a standard pace to the discussion section, since there was some complaints that this may overwhelm the front page and also, I think anything that needs modifications to LW software is dead in the water.
