Here’s a suggestion: What if we divided the forum into sub-pages by topic?
This kind of thing is a good long-term solution but is there enough discussion at this point to justify this kind of division? It would be inconvenient to have to click through every subforum I was interested in just to see if there was anything new.
You can use http://lesswrong.com/r/all/recentposts/ if you don’t mind manually skipping over threads from subforums you’re not interested in. (On Reddit you can put together more specific combinations like this, or just configure your front page to show particular reddits, but neither of those seems to work here.)

That’s true—I think TheOtherDave’s suggestion above might be something of a compromise.
