Just wanted to say I agree regarding the problems with conversation being “time driven” (I’ve previously suggested a similar problem with Q&A)
One idea that occurs to me is to personalise Recent Discussion on the homepage. If I’ve read a post and even more if I’ve upvoted it then I’m likely to be interested in comments on that thread. If I’ve upvoted a comment then I’m likely to be interested in replies to that comment.
If Recent Discussion worked more like a personal recommendation section than a rough summary section then I think I’d get more out of it and probably be more motivated to post comments, knowing that people may well read them even if I’m replying to an old post.
