I really appreciate the pingback feature, but it looks like on LW it’s limited to the top 5 (by karma) pingbacks, while greaterwrong.com shows all of them. (I tested on theseposts.) Is this intentional? If so, I don’t think it makes sense to artificially restricted the “cited by” list this way, especially without any indication that this is happening?
Also, I’d like to make a feature suggestion, namely an option in the settings to receive notifications when one of my posts or comments is linked somewhere on LW or EA Forum.
Seems no one replied to this. The top 5 is a limitation we are well aware of and is on the list to fix for Pingbacks is moved out of beta-status. I think it was there just because it takes extra UI work to have an expanding list. I agree the lack of indication that it’s happening is pretty back.
I also really like the notification idea, I do hope we make that happen.
