How do people read LessWrong? I subscribe to the RSS feed of the front page, but that tends to be suboptimal, as some posts aren’t that well-aligned with my interests or are questions/discussion starters as opposed to being mid/longform reads that I’d mostly want to read LW for.
Me too. I check it one or two times a day, with longer gaps up to a week or two when I’m busy on other things. I generally look at the last few days’ titles, read the ones I want and ignore the rest. Those that I’ve read and have new comments show the comment count in green, so it’s easy to note followups to things I’m interested in.
I do miss out on comments made more than a few days after the article is posted, as the post will have scrolled down far enough that I don’t notice. They sometimes come to my attention (if a comment of mine gets a reply or a karma change), but often not.
I was subscribed to the RSS feed of all posts, but that was a bit overwhelming; so I’m now subscribed to the feed of “posts with 30 or more karma” that they provide, but I’m now finding that LW is much less interesting or useful to me—which I could have predicted, given that I’d already noticed that the karma of a post often turned out a bad indicator of how useful/interesting it would be to me. The posts I found to be the best were most often in the 5-15 karma range—but alas, there’s no feed for that.
Now I’m thinking about just unsubscribing from the RSS feed and setting LW as my homepage.

Same.
