That would be a lot of posts. If we’re talking about making a new post in Discussion everyday, that would likely drown-out most other threads. It would be even worse in Main.
I think I phrased “drown-out most other threads” too strongly.
Just from eyeballing the Newest Submissions page in Discussion, I estimate there are an average of ~3 new threads per day, so a new post everyday probably wouldn’t “drown-out” the other threads, but still, a 33% dilution is a 33% dilution. It’s quite possible that it’s a trade-off worth making, but it’s still a trade-off that I think we should be aware of.
Honestly, as someone new, I think it would be a good trade off. I heard about LW after HPMOR, and I know most people who recommended me HPMOR got intimidated by the amount of backlog they needed to do.
That is not a problem for me, but as I said in a different comment, I enjoy discussion about the things I am currently reading.
One could start a new subreddit for this reading group. Something like reddit.com/r/LWreadinggroup. But that would defeat the purpose of reviving lesswrong.com.
