Meta post: Did something go wrong?

Elo

There is a post at this link: http://lesswrong.com/lw/mp3/proper_posture_for_mental_arts/

It does not appear in my discussion feed. See the timestamps in the pictures below:

and:

It's currently 0900 local time on the 1/9/15. The only reason that I can think of this being wrong is that its a timezone publishing effect. But I don't know how, or what to do about it...

It also does not appear in an incognito window view of the discussion.

Now what?

When I click main it defaults to "promoted", you linked in this comment to main/all which caught the post. I wonder if anyone else has the problem of missing posts like this. There is no way I could have found this post if I didn't try really hard to work out where it was. After 10 mins I decided to screenshot and ask someone..

Is there something that can be done about these posts being lost/not-easy to find?

My usual process is:

www.lesswrong.com
-discusssion
(sometimes click >main)
sometimes autocomplete to http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/new/

I can easily change what I do to also check Main/notpromotedbutnormalmainposts. But I wonder if anyone else misses things and can be helped like this?

Yes. The current setup is not ideal.

I know about both links but still find it annoying that the default behavior for main is to list what to me seems like just an arbitrary subset of the posts, and I need to then click another button to get the rest of them. Unless there's some huge proportion of the reader-base who only care about "promoted" posts and don't want to see the others, the default ought to be to show everything. I'm sure there's people who miss a lot of content and don't even know they're missing it.

On the Main page, there's a "New" tab at the top, which displays all posts in Main, newest first. That's the URL I have bookmarked, and if I happen to come in via lesswrong.com, that's where I go first. I'm theoretically aware that there's a URL to everything all mixed together, but I've always preferred to read Main(new) and Discussion separately.
