I noticed that this recent lw post showed up on the “recent comments” side-bar, but that it doesn’t show up in the list of “discussion” posts. Is this just me? Do other people have this show up in “discussion”? (Also, this is not the first time that I’ve noticed that there are posts in the side-bar that I can’t find in Discussion).
It’s in Main where the best written and most rationality-relevant articles go. Discussion is for lower quality and less relevant posts. I wonder if missing Main is common and whether something should be done about that.
It took me several months before I discovered that not everything in Main shows up when you click on “Main”—you need to first click on “Main” and then click on “New”. It took me even longer before I figured out that there’s an RSS feed for Main / New so I could find out when something gets added there.
For me, at least, anything in Main that wasn’t also promoted had almost no visibility for several months. Which is a pity because a lot of the best stuff goes there.

If it’s in Main, why does the article’s Karma Bubble look like it’s in Discussion? (i.e. it’s not a filled in with green).
Not everything in Main is promoted; in fact, most of it isn’t. Only promoted articles get the green bubbles.
