After some chats with Oliver about how prominent it made sense for the open thread to be, we decided to make it _not_ frontpage but be stickied. (This isn’t quite ideal, but having it stickied on frontpage felt more prominent than seemed right for “first impressions of LW reasons”. Longterm we’re probably aiming to create something more official than open threads for casual questions/hangout, and in the meanwhile the options we can easily toggle are “frontpage or no, stickied or no”)

How about making it sticked on top of https://www.lesswrong.com/daily instead of giving it a special place on the frontpage?
The Open Thread appears to no longer be stickied. Try pushing the pin in harder next time.
Nope, still stickied. Maybe you don’t have the “All Posts” filter enabled?
It actually was unstickied, and then I re-stickied it. Not sure what’s up.
Oh, huh. Weird. Maybe some mod misclicked.
What does “stickied” do?
Stays at the top of a list of post. So, if you click “all posts” on the frontpage, you’ll see the Open Thread stickied to the top now.
I don’t see it there. Have you done the update yet?
Yep, update is pushed. You not seeing it likely means you haven’t selected the “All Posts” filter on the left.
I see, thanks. I had been looking at the page https://www.lesswrong.com/daily, linked to from the sidebar under the same phrase “All Posts”.
Ah, yes. That is confusing. We should fix that.
