These seem great, but I truely think the biggest thing they could do would be add a line at the top of the page encouraging people to visit /newest. The content that actually makes the front page is somewhat random. I've seen the same thing posted several times, only to have the third posting be on the front page all day. Its also true that much of the content which does make it there is gamed by people who have their friends upvote. Getting more organic votes to new traffic would make that much harder.
- petercooper 10y agoEven just showing 2 or 3 items from /newest in a box at the bottom of the front page would encourage me to vote on them. Maybe only show it to a handful of logged in users with a nominal amount of karma to reduce any effects of it in promoting spam on the front page.
- deegles 10y agoI like this idea. Especially if it takes a random sample of what was submitted in the last N minutes. There could be a little banner saying "Do you think any of the below are better than what's currently on the front page?" or similar.
