I actually didn’t realize until now that articles don’t pop up in the Main RSS unless they are upvoted to a certain value. Do you think I’d get more eyes on this if it were in Discussion rather than Main?
Posts are “promoted” to the front page by the editors on the basis of substantive new content, clear argument, good writing, popularity, and importance. The posts with karma totals in green disks instead of gray circles have been promoted.
I don’t actually know. For all I know, articles become Promoted when Eliezer likes them enough to do background things in the blog. Maybe I should repost this in Discussion as well. I might worry that that would irritate people who see it twice, though.

You could post a disclaimer at the beginning: “This article is also posted in Main; however I want as many people as possible to see it. Please ignore if you have already read it.”

Does this apply to the RSS feed for plain old main or just the RSS feed for promoted main? I seem to find my RSS feed (the first link) is reasonably complete so if there is a karma requirement there it isn’t a high one.

I don’t know. Maybe. What’s that certain value?
