I think discussion would be more useful if the threads were sorted by something like reddit’s ‘hot’ algorythm, rather than being just displayed in order of posting, which causes good threads to be buried by duller new ones.
Open threads are sort of like this as they are essentially “top posts this week”
The default is “Best,” not “New.” It appears to me to be dominated by old threads. “Hot” has probably been renamed “Leading” and could be made default, but I doubt you are actually seeing the default.

There’s a sort by in the upper right corner above comments, but below the post.
yes but the default setting is what determines most people’s behavior. Trivial inconveniences etc.
