Using this space to ask a question unrelated to this post itself: How does frontpage/featured work? I’m confused about it. When someone posts, they can choose ‘their blog’ or ‘frontpage’ to post? But mods can move from ‘blog’ to frontpage? And then things on frontpage can be featured? Do people ever want to post to just ‘their blog’, or is it generally assumed that a post should go on the frontpage if eligible?
Also-meta, but I’m going to reply here since you already saw my original question and I don’t think the post you linked answers it: People have the option to post either to personal blog or frontpage, right? Even people like me with not that much karma? So under what circumstances would a mod move a post from personal blog to frontpage? Might an author not object to that? I’m trying to understand whether I have a good model of the purpose of personal blog versus frontpage, and of what moderators can do, and what they normally do.
Moved to frontpage.

Since this is a meta comment, seemed best to link to this meta thread discussing it: https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/TWdmm3Q4gouF7EETW/12-31-17-update-frontpage-redesign.
(We are working on another update to make it a bit clearer)

I’ve responded in a new meta post (in general, best if Meta discussion that you’d like an admin response on to go in the meta section)
