We finally got around to a long-postponed update to the frontpage, where logged in users see content that is hopefully more relevant to them.
Some notes:
Non logged in users should have a mostly unchanged experience
Logged in users now see a list of recommended sequences. The list will change over time. We aren’t sure about the details, but we want to highlight old content that might be worth re-reading, and new sequences that seem high caliber. For now we expect to change the sequences about once a week.
We added back a formal Curated Post section, mostly identical to the old one. Since longtime users often spend most time in the Community filter, Curated posts didn’t stand out as strong as they used to. We had gotten some feedback that this made getting into Curated feel less special than it used to, and wanted to fix that.
Logged in users now always see all options for the “Curated/Frontpage/Community/Meta/Daily” menu
