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:

  1. www.lesswrong.com
  2. -discusssion
  3. (sometimes click >main)
  4. 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?

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.
